Ride



Made my training ride a ride to the Gay and Lesbian center on McCadden place to drop off a pair of bicycle shoes and pick up a jersey. I'll post pictures soon.
The pack loaded and ready to go. It was 20 fairly easy miles to the center. The way back was not quite so easy. I decided to take Mulholland drive figuring that once the initial climb to 1200 feet was done there wouldn't be much more climbing. Boy was I wrong. It seemed like ultra short downhills followed by long climbs.

The downhills are always shorted because of the higher speeds but this seemed completely out of proportion. Much harder than the Muholland Drive in the west valley.
The scenery was worth the effort. When it was done the Cayeye said 48 miles and 2400 foot of climbing. The polar said 2700 calories burned.
