Saturday’s ride: 58.45 miles, with an elevation gain of 3,225 feet, on one of the harder climbs in the South Bay area, a series of punishing rollers leading to a 3-mile mini-mountain with switchbacks and grades of over 10% in places. Elevation at the top was almost 1,000 feet. Haven’t done that one in a while and oh man, did it hurt. (But it feels so good when it stops.) Today’s ride: 40.42 miles, mostly flat, but with intervals of really hard sustained riding. Maximum speed on one flat sprint was 32 mph. Total mileage for the weekend: 98.87 miles. And yes, that’s my foot.
