those bellas like to climb

Today was the last day of our training camp, whew...

JJ led a beautiful ride full of hills and steep little frikker pitches. Pitches so steep that the front tire might pop up off the ground just a bit and some parts where paperboy technique was necessary. I am a numbers kind of gal. I like to look at the number associated with the pain. I like to look at the numbers, and I like to record them. I save them, file them, and look back on them. Here is the ride from today. It went up over some Granite Hill, up a Mt. Charlie, named after a guy who killed grizzly bears or fought them or something epic. Epic enough to get a road named after him. Finally, we did a summit thing. And then, we turned left and went downhill. Some others kept climbing...yikes.

The other profile is another hill climbing fest from last November. It went up Eureka Canyon and then kept going.

sounds like you all had a great time!

i like the little notations on the bottom. "objects of interest", "snack bar", "check point".

Wild pandas in CA?

Every ride should have a snackbar somewhere in the profile.
