Or 3 old guys. Take your pick! --------------------------------------------------- Scary to look at that picture and think of the combined age. Kevin S is 60-something. Kevin K is 60-something. Mike J is 60-something. That's a lot of experience. And, at least in my case, some pretty tired legs by the time I got to the top of Mt. Hamilton. Nice morning, not too cold, so actually a bit overdressed. I was fine for the first 3/4 of the way up until my wheels finally came off. Gradually; I didn't blow a gasket, I just watched Kevin S & Kevin K pull away from me. I managed to get back on once, but my breathing was not able to keep up with the effort. I ended up losing just under two minutes in the final few miles; I was thinking at the time it must have been a lot more! There's no question that the time off I spent in Israel, two full weeks off the bike, didn't help. Nor did shortened rides due to rain and longer hours at the shop for Christmas. But in the end, a great way to start the new year. And, it will be three days riding in a row too! Tuesday morning, today's Mt Ham, and tomorrow the Thursday morning ride. --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_8315_3_x_60.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_8337mt_ham_TOP-150x150.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_8310mt_ham_near_top-150x84.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_8339_mt_ham-150x113.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2020-01-01 21:26:42 Post date GMT: 2020-01-02 05:26:42 Post modified date: 2020-01-01 21:26:42 Post modified date GMT: 2020-01-02 05:26:42 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
