Hottie



I like to believe that I'm hot and not because of the weather....

Saturday, the plan was to charge up Mt. Hamilton as I always struggle with this climb. I haven't done this ride since I had the bike fit awhile ago. I was proud of myself for biking faster than I have and for being in gears other than Missy Granny but when I reached Grant Ranch (8 or 9 miles in), I realized the folly of such a ride during a severe weather alert. With sadness (yeah, right), I turned around. However, I did enjoy exploring side roads like Clayton, practicing descending and biking the Alum Rock neighborhood.

Sunday, the plan was to .... well, another day of extreme heat and I'm just too hot, you know.....

I too bagged the riding this weekend due to the weather. Today I went hiking on Mt. Tam instead of riding with the ACTC group. The shady hiking trails were still toasty, but not as torrid as the asphalt I suspect! Yesterday I did an early morning strength workout, and then went to watch the hunky men (and inspiring women!) race at Hellyer Velodrome.
