Memorial Day
For this ride, Ross, Bob, and I decided to do the 'Turkey Day' route. It was a blast since we were able to ride with virtually no traffic. Ross led us at a pretty brisk for a good portion of the time, but the three of us also took turns on the front.
The weather started a bit cold, but once we got to Highland we were all peeling off vests, jackets, and sleeves because the sun had made an appearance. On the way in, we decided to ride some intervals. We started with some 25+ mph cruising down Sycamore Valley Road and ended with some near 30 mph speeds down "The Boulevard" between Bollinger Canyon and Alcosta. The ride was fun and useful for training.
We are really closing in on "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride" on Sunday, June 7. It is going to be a fantastic day for a wonderful cause - The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A note regarding to today's photos The first is the Chelsea FC crest. The second is of Laura Leigh Sinai and she is in the blog because she is really pretty and helps ease the ugliness of seeing Barcelona as champion. This former photo is more important because today Barcelona comprehensively won the Champions League over Manchester United. The importance stems from the fact that, in a just world, Chelsea would have played Man U in the title game. (No, I am still not over the refereeing that caused this miscarriage of justice.)
