I like to ride my bicycle - for long distances. I have earned the California Triple Crown and finished the Furnace Creek 508. My goals include qualifying for RAAM and ...(read the blog to find out).

This was suppose to be a rest day. I was suppose to take it easy. I was suppose to ride flat roads. I did Gibson Rd. instead. I was a bad boy. Gibson Rd. starts off with a 12% grade for 100 yards, and then continues up at an incline of 6-10%. The climb is roughly three miles long and gains 735 feet. This is my favorite hill to train on. Finished up with close to 40 miles. The weather was misty with wet roads. My Cannondale got very grimy today. I even had to clean it. Tomorrow is a holiday for me, so I will get some more miles in. Training update: I feel I am still on track. Next week the long ride is suppose to be 91 miles, but I have a commitment at 2:00 pm so I may not get all of the miles in. The Eastern Sierra Double has a date change - May 22. This is just one week after the Davis Double. Should be fun.
