Strange thing that we saw nobody out on Canada. No riders returning from the "morning" ride. But climbing Kings was another thing entirely. Got passed by two people we didn't know, and then, about halfway up, saw someone ahead that we weren't sure we would catch. Closing speed was really slow. Eventually the gap came down. Oh. My. Talk about depressing. A younger lady on a klunky cheap mountain bike with a monstrous seat and wearing tennis shoes. Wow. I mean, depressing for us, but impressive as heck for what she was doing, and told her so as we finally passed. A little further up we came across someone riding with her, a guy on a much lighter road bike.
It wasn't a fast ride up Kings at 36 minutes but it felt... OK. And right now, two weeks off the bike, OK is just fine. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning.]]>121912018-12-19 22:31:112018-12-20 06:31:11
