Had a PacBikes training camp this past weekend. Some good tough workouts from Friday -- Monday. I didn’t make it on Friday due to work and on Sunday, I decided to do the workouts later in the day so I could make it to Church and have lunch with the Siacor family. Andreas made a video of the last day’s ride which was a long and tough ride that included some drama as Nate took a spill but managed to come out of it without injury.
Andreas’ recap of the day, “Today the conditions could have hardly been better for february. The ride on the Peninsula was hilly, hard and scenic and sunny. Some strong girls consisting of Erin, Kelly, Rosi and Vicki climbed Old La Honda with the boys then took a different route and it sounded like they rode a good 4 hours. The boys (John D and B, Alan, Nate and myself) headed up on Skyline, down West Alpine, up/down Pescadero, up/down, up/down, up/down on Stage road and up/up/up on Tunitas Creek Rd, down/down/down on the 92.”
A bunch of triathlon clubs are currently in something called the National Club Challenge where they keep track of miles swam, biked, and ran. Each month has a focus such as December was swimming, January was cycling, and February is running. With my ridiculous amount of cycling in January, I was hoping to move up the charts and for quick minute I broke into the Top 10. A few clubs were still uploading athlete info and I’ve found myself comfortably in the Top 20.
My 15 seconds of cycling fame:
Where I currently sit:
A fun little video of a ride I organized. About 25 people came out for the GGTC Paradise Loop ride.
Beautiful day. We are in such better spirits compared to days 1 & 2.
Carmel to San Luis Obispo. Long day in which we got through 135 miles. Started and ended in the rain. Pretty cold day.
After getting lost in the Marina trying to find Vic’s place, then getting lost in Daly City, and jumping on the freeway to get to Pacifica (SCARY!), we finally got into sort of a rhythm albeit against headwinds. Included getting lost, I ended up cycling ~110 miles, Rahim powered thru ~15 miles, and Mike did ~125. Very hard cycling day. Day 2 and 3 recaps will come soon.
