More cycle-blogging: Yesterday I completed the Solvang Double Century - 200 more miles. (Yay!) This was a great ride all the way up the central coast to Morro Bay, and then back down again, with a little climb through Drum Canyon to wrap it up. Took me 10:58 of riding time, which is pretty darn respectable, and 12:45 overall. This is over two hours better than I did in the Butterfield Double, and although that one was harder (more climbing), I've made pretty good progress. Here's me and Mark Burson, my riding partner: Next up for us is the Hemet Double Century next Saturday (yep; that will be two doubles in eight days). If we survive that we'll have achieved the California Triple Crown! After that, who knows... maybe we'll have to do the RAAM :) |
