Ahh Redwood Road. 50 miles and 3000 feet of elevation gain. Day 2 of outside riding on February 10. Stunning day, weather-wise, and I’m always amazed at how within minutes of leaving the house, well for me it’s more like hours because I ride so slow, that you can find yourself on a little two lane road with scenery like the one in this picture.
I was pretty happy when I took this picture because the serious climbing was behind me and I felt good!
Was a bit apprehensive starting out on this ride because I recently made a dramatic change to my diet and was concerned I wouldn’t have the energy to complete the ride. Last week in fact, while happy with my shoulder, I was quite light-headed the last 10 miles of the ride. Telling myself to remember to stop at red lights, you know, important stuff like that.
Well happy to report that the tweaks made to my diet during the week to prevent a reoccurrence on Redwood Road worked!
Bring on Mount Diablo!!
Love the Blog!! Can't wait to see how the Devil Mountain treats you. Good luck with the new diet regiment. It may be tougher than the cycle training!!
