I had a great but chilly ride up Old Tunnel Road today with Coach Cliff and Vivek. I felt good climbing up Old Tunnel in the middle ring. It was nice of Cliff to go slow and chat with me the whole way. Once we reached the top we headed up to the 'Steam Trains' before turning around. Even the moderate grades required some effort on both the uphill and downhill because the was wind really blowing.
At first I thought I would ride up Old Tunnel again, but once I reached the bottom through all that shade I was really cold and the car was way too inviting, so home I went. Still, I had a good time out there (of course, I will bring warmer clothes for next time and start earlier).
The photo from my Blackberry is of the view after having climbed Old Tunnel and crossed and climbed above Fish Ranch Road.
Sorry we missed riding with you. We'll be there next week.
ReplyDeleteI guess now it is my turn to miss you on Tunnel Road. I will be riding Diablo tomorrow.
