Today was the day to welcome John back to the local ride circuit. This past weekend, he measured Kaiser's 155 miles and ceaseless, steep climbs and then got the job done. His return had us taking a 40 mile recovery ride from San Ramon up to Lafayette and back.
Of course, a recovery ride for John is still enough to beat me up. Of course, I did my best to keep up (in combination with begging him to slow down). Thankfully, I chose a flat course. We averaged about 16 mph and had our usual good time.
We also began talking about what we are going to do for Death Ride. My choice, of course, would be to wait until Monitor and Ebbetts open to vehicle traffic and then just drive all the passes with the bike in the back. Of course, I doubt that John is going to allow me this out. I suppose I will have to attempt some of the passes under my own power. We will have to see how it goes. My guess is that I have 3 passes in me; however, life is funny so I am not discounting any possible outcome. I mean how can you when the day is going to start at 4:30 am!
