What I did on my summer vacation

[somegirl]

Week 1: Climbed 4 mountains on my Orbea (about 250 miles, 20,000' total for the 4 days of riding)

Diablo


Hamilton


Tam


San Bruno (the baby)


Week 2: Kayaking in the San Juan Islands

I'm curious how your bike is geared and how long it took you to get up Mt. Hamilton? Where did you start from? Did you do Quimby Road or Alum Rock? It's been awhile since I've done that one. I really want to climb over Sonora Pass. I've done Tioga Pass but Sonora is supposed to be much worse. I just worry about the gearing on my bike. I miss grannie gears. Especially since I'm a grannie.

Hey we should ride soon!

I've been riding with Duckwrench13 all Summer. We keep asking where you are, not that we then called you.
So here it is, ring ring ring,

misincredible? Lets ride.

Well, we have tried to wrangle you into riding with us. But as usual, you were elsewhere.

Don't know about Desmostro, but I'll be cranking out some miles tomorrow. The usual route is Paradise Loop, but the top of Tam does seem tempting.

Hear that? It's the sound of her ignoring you.


She said she wouldn't waste her time waiting up for you, and the only way she'd join you on a ride is if you were on the motos-it's your sole hope of keeping up.

Oooh, sorry I can't make it this time.  Maybe next weekend?

I am booked to try out my new birthday present tomorrow.

This was Alum Rock, my first time up Hamilton (actually it was my first time on all of those moutains).

I have a compact double.  I think the cassette is something like 11-28.

wow 20,000' of climb that's a lot!  I tried going up Old La Honda and well that's more than enough for me 

[gojira]

Well, I used to do 20,000 feet also ...

... skiiing.
