Saturday evening run at Annadel

Saturday evening run at Annadel 

Claire kept us motivated after a day at the shop.  I was ready to head home and make some pizza and drink a couple of homebrews, which we eventually did, but Claire got us up there for an hour.  Beautiful evening, and except for the fact that only 1 person out of 15 said "hi" to me after I greeted them on the trail, it was a great run.  Seems like they have been smoothing out Rough Go trail a tiny bit.  That is a great trail to run up, but running down Cobblestone was a bit of a challenge.  I felt pretty good considering I hadn't run in quite a while.  Not to much soreness the next morning.

A little before work ride.

Lefty Guts

Claire, Aaron, and I went out for this little loop before work this morning.  This is one of our old favorites that we hadn't done in a couple of years.  Sonoma Mountain Road hasn't changed very much over the years, which is a good thing.  I love the bumpiness and the narrow roads.  Here is a link to the loop.

Bogg's 8 hour race (reduced to 7)

I know thus happened quite awhile ago, but better late than never. I did this race on my Cannondale Singlespeed 29'er. I had no expectations what-so-ever, so I was pleasantly happy with how things went. It ended up being a 4 mile loop on fire trails, which was pretty repetitive by the end. Claire came out and fed me some good food during the ride. I think she was hoping for a relaxing day, but since I came through every 20 minutes or so, she was up and down all day long. By the end I was pretty knackered.

Eureka Canyon Loop

Claire and I did this loop on our tandem. Claire came up with a slightly different way of making our way over to eureka canyon which made the loop better than last time.

I went out on my own for this 70 miler. With 7200 feet of climbing, it was a nice little challenge. Jamison Creek Road was quite steep for what it is worth.

Tandem Ride up Bonny Doon Road

Claire and I battled a little bit of a headwind on the ride up highway 1 before we climbed Bonny Doon Road. We also got to do Ice Cream Grade Road which I haven't been on in almost 14 years.
