Monday was the first day back from my Death Ride adventure and I figured I better get some miles in since I only did two passes. So, I went ahead and emailed my compadres John and Mark and out we went for a ride.
We rolled from San Ramon out to Lafayette and, ok, it was hot. I am not sure if it was 100, but my guess is that 'Yes' is the answer. The only reason I didn't know was because I refused to look prior to leaving work. I take this approach because sometimes "knowing" clouds my judgment. For example, I might have decided not to go if I realized it was triple-digit hot.
As it turned out, we had a good ride despite the heat. We moderated the pace and enjoyed conversation as we rode. It was good to see Mark on the bike because he had taken a bad fall just awhile back and separating his shoulder and just generally beating himself up.
I particularly liked the part of the ride where we blasted right by this inconsiderate cyclist who had nearly hit us as we travelled through central Lafayette. He was totally discourteous, endangering us so it was good to "smoke" this guy on the short climb up to Glorietta.
Today's photo is of Mark and John.
