Yerba Buena?!@#&! Es No Bueno… No Gracias, Senores.
I think the BBKings are trying to kill me. Saturday’s morning ride in another 50 miles which is fine, but they will be riding to Rock Store (4 miles uphill) - Mulholland - down Encinal - PCH - up Yerba Buena (another 7 miles uphill…) then back down Westlake. ERrrr…5000 ft of climbing? !@#!@$!#@!@! Going up Mulholland from PCH side alone was only 3000 ft of climbing, 7 miles of LOOONG uphill, and I was completely BONKED afterward. And now, 5000 ft of climbing? I’m not sure if I can make it.. I may just faint. Maybe, I’ll get a head start at 7:30am and see if I can even finish in under 5 hours. Or, I may just chicken out and ride an easy 50 with Agoura Cycles… Oy…
On the bright side, it looks like it will be a clear day on Saturday. Only it’s going to be c-c-c-c-cooold again at 45 degrees in the morning. I need to get a facemask so that my face don’t freeze off…
