Notes
Took the 'cross bike for a change to check out the little unpaved cut through trail next to Lexington dam. Looks like I can get to Lexington school on Old Santa Cruz highway via this route. It is a little too rutted out probably for my road bike, and the gravel on LGCT is made of pretty sharp rocks. I think I can make a longer route maybe up to Loma Prieta if I take this route in the ubercross…Did Shannon first today and Kennedy on the return trip. For some reason it felt harder? It is about the same on paper so it must be a mental thing. Strangely I just checked Garmin and this is the fastest I have climbed that hill from this direction - and I was on the gravel bike at the end of the ride - so perhaps I am getting stronger overall. :) 2123' gain.
Legs felt alright, not great, which is surprising given two whole days off the bike. May jog with the doggie later, may give us the day off, depending upon how much energy he has to burn off. He wasn't interested in running at all this morning.
