Apparently the snake that we saw on rogue harbor was dead by the time that the ride rolled through

Roli and I did another kidical mass ride. It was 100 freedom degrees but we managed to have fun and not get sunburned or overheated.
Roli rode 3.7 miles under his own power then caught a ride home.
One of the dads on the ride had this cool pre-Igor @igor bike.

Looks like fun! Campeur will always be a favorite.
A few pictures on a trip to costco:
An interurban, a selfy, and a fiberglass horse; could life be any better?

Did you ever sell your 54?
I did! Some guy in the SGV bought it, more local Foco.

Put my parents on some e-bikes and rented an Urban Arrow for myself to ride around Santa Cruz. These things rip!!

I just did a WFH lunchtime ride up to the Hawkins Hill Radar dome. 725 metres vertical in 61 minutes door to door. Strava asked me if it was an ebike ride. Ive never had that before.
That light-weight ali cassette is going great too

I rode out to B**v*rt*n this morning for a doctor’s appointment and got a couple of pictures along the way:
It turns out I’m severely anemic these days, and that was really obvious when riding up LaView Drive (ruling grade of about 10%, average grade of 5-6(?).) Instead of big ringing it up there as is traditional I was down to my absolute lowest stump-pulling gear and I still had to stop to water myself and get my breath back six times (it took me 1h40 minutes to go 12 miles, 30 of those minutes were climbing the (0.3 mile) LaView.
Ugh. Gonna need iron shots, I think.
The last time I rode out into darkest B**v*rt*n I relied on my phone for directions, and that was a show-stopper, so I cranked out a cuesheet from google maps directions.
google maps is, um, not very good at bicycle directions, so I spent an extra 15 minutes getting lost when I reached downtown B**v*rt*n, because some of the roads were one way opposite what gmaps thought and the east-west highways were narrow, busy, and not cursed with an excess of bike lanes.
When I came back home I rode the trolley under the mountain instead of killing myself climbing over the top:
A *spectacular* 19 miles r/t. At leat the flat(tish) and railway graded segments were easy running.
