I went out today and rode 120 km. That is about 75 miles. It was quite a ride. I tried to make a map of it, and maybe I will try again, but I think it is too complicated for Google Maps. Anyway, I headed out over every hill I could think of from Forestville to Cotati. It took me about 2 hours to get to the shop where I got some more water and some more energy food. I then did the wrong thing by heading back out towards Valley Ford via Middle Road. There was, of course, a terrible headwind, and it was slow going. I ended up riding up Bohemian Hwy. into Occidental, where, instead of heading over Graton Road and home, I had to go over Morelli and back down Harrison Grade and back over Green Valley. It was just under 5 hours on the bike. Tomorrow I will be going out with Eric the Fireman to do Sweetwater and some other hills. It was cloudy all day and I got sprinkled on a bit when I was out on Jonive and Barnett Valley. I had a big bowl of pasta when I got home and some buttered popcorn. I also poured myself the perfect "black and tan", I had to take a picture of it. The secret is using a spoon to pour the Guinness over. Here is a map of the ride from Forestville to Cotati.
