60 miles around Sunol and Calaveras
October 9, 2007 – 5:23 pmMy earlier leg cramps having resolved themselves, I rejoined the group on Sunday October 7th for a spectacular ride starting out in Milpitas and heading North West into the rolling hills.
The ride was wonderful and I was pleased with my fitness level during the climbs (about 3000 feet of climb, total). My heart rate never reached maximum which indicates I could have ridden faster.
Tom did an excellent job coaching us as usual, and the group was tight and controlled most of the time. One pothole caused us significant problems with both Aaron and myself losing water bottles. I stopped and went back to get mine, moments before it was crushed by traffic, but Aaron had to abandon his.
