Page Mill Road

The photo was taken from the 2006 Low-key Hill climbs, this one being Page Mill Road. I, The Boyfriend and many very nice people and volunteers participated in the 2006 climbs, though the events goes back further than that date. Take a look at the 2007 climbs slated for this September. Saturday, I decided to bike Page Mill in yet another effort to develop climbing muscles in my weenie legs. The Boyfriend wasn't around to forget the camera this time. I met a lovely woman who stayed with me for a few minutes before she took off at a real speed (you see, I do wmph otherwise known as weenie miles per hour on climbs). The day was warm, at least in direct sunlight. Or maybe I just felt hot from all the good looking well built men coming downhill. At 4.5 miles, I was just about out of water, my head was on fire, I'd already done 2 gels and my legs weren't willing to continue. I turned around. I didn't even have strength going downhill. Oh but I did have the strength to wave and smile at those mighty fine male cyclists encountered earlier. I've done this road twice before and managed to make it all the way. Obviously something went very wrong. The next day I felt better and took the hybrid out on a 15 mile jaunt to Alviso. As Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day."
