Notes

1st longer bike since Century ride. It went ok except that the Pearl Izumi shorts are NOT good for riding long. My butt was so uncomfortable. I think the seam placement in these shorts is terrible. I will not wear them again for rides over 30 miles.

Not very much climbing today except for Uvas and the steeper side of Bailey (which happened after 30 miles). I had thought to climb Thomas grade again but nixed that idea when I had to pee. Instead I turned North to CCT to get to the park bathrooms. Hence I had to add on a couple low quality miles at the end of the ride to get to 50.

Route was House-Camden-McKean-Uvas-OakGlen-Edmunson-deWitt-Dunne-Hill-Main-CCT trailhead Morgan Hill (very brief stop to pee! ate some nuts) - CCT North - Bailey - McKean-Camden-LosAlamitos Trail- Coleman - a few side roads - home. 1700' gain
