Great weekend

I love having Good Friday off when most others do not :). Although at times it would be more fun to have some friends off so that we could all go do something for the weekend, but it does allow me to just go have some fun on my own. This time I went out for a ride and ended up with 73 miles logged for the day (though my avg speed sucked as usual; we won't mention what or how long it all took ;), but at least it was somewhat normal for me).

Rather than drive somewhere close to where I would be riding, I just left from home (save gas) and road over and up Montebello. This meant passing by the accident site for those two poor cyclists from a few weeks ago. There's a small memorial setup for them and definitely makes you think about what can happen.

Made it up Montebello with only seeing a couple of cyclists pass me on their way back down. I made it up pretty quickly compared to passed rides then turned around at the top for a rather chilly ride back down. I decided I wasn't done climbing so I decided to head for Portola and ride Old La Honda Rd too. As I got there I was having second thoughts (my legs were a bit tired), but road it anyway. Took a bit longer than normal, but that's ok. It was wonderful weather so even inside the trees in the shade it still was comfortable.

Made my way to Woodside and out a few miles on to Canada Rd before turning around at 52 miles out and headed home (course home was still 21 miles away ;)). Aside from my rather sore ass and exhausted legs, I still felt pretty good (definitely a positive feeling knowing what's coming).

Saturday was other activities including an attempt at basketball and bowling (clearly I suck and basketball and bowling, well, I USED to be good ;)). Sunday my legs have really been hurting so I've been taking it easy...

There's always the story of Nahoko's fish and frogs, but I'll discuss that later.
