Thanks to the long weekend I had some amazing rides.
Friday I handled Internet -based real estate stuff early and squeezed in a ride, then wine-tasting at Nugget later/
Saturday I drove to Auburn to ride with dauphin97, who had a challenging but not undoable ride in Auburn, Folsom, Auburn. What a great ride! I enjoyed the company and the climbing. We rode to Folsom and experienced the holiday crowds w/o having to share the roads.
Sunday I rode with a couple relay team GFs as well as a couple non -running friends to the top of Cardiac Hill, a climb featured in the Amgen Tour of California. I got the QOM for the dam but not Cardiac. I was happy feeling as though I had helium balloons attached to my bike (thanks for that, Jen!).
My problem was hanging on in the flats. I need to work up to hanging on during the long, fast rides. Goal defined.
