OK - longs posts like the previous are verboten. Yesterday, I led a ride for the
Western Wheelers but not much happened, just a nice, mellow ride, no crashes or anything. It was a C ride, which for me means pretty mellow, although there was some strong riders (i.e. D riders). But as the organizer/leader, I had to hang back. We went from Gunn High School to Kings Mountain Rd, gaining 1630 feet in the 4.2 mile climb. Then it was on to Bear Gulch West, this is a 3 mile road down to a dead end. The end gets very steep and a little hairy. This is a 1020 feet over 3 miles, but the first (or last) mile is mostly flat.
There was a good turnout, around 13 people. The ride started after 10am, so it had time to warm up a little since temps were in the mid-30s overnight. Quite a contrast from the prior week D ride, when one person showed due to the weather conditions. After the ride, I rode straight to work to help finish our project by Christmas (hopefully/doubtfully) and make some extra $$. It was a good ride, and kind of an easy one for a change.
