It was great to be back on the bike today after having taken Monday as a rest day. The VS T 'n T bunch went out through Dublin and Pleasanton before rolling home. The most intriguing part of day was the surprise climb up Schafer which parellels 580 going west. I have ridden the other side of 580 heading eastward up the Dublin Grade and always thought that side was pretty benign. I guess the engineers thought a good climb was in order. It was fun in a sick way, but I was just happy to get to the top.
After the top, we all descended to the Dublin Grade side and headed down towards Foothill Road with our intent being to go to the Verano Bridge and our usual route. On the way down; however, Michelle had a flat and three of us stopped to help. I guess now we know how many Valley Spokesmen it takes to change a tire. :-)
Afterwards, we shortened the ride and headed back via Bernal, the 'roundabouts', Valley, and Stagecoach. It was a lot of fun, but I don't know the mileage because I turned my computer off for the flat repair. C'est la vie.
