Notes

My route was kind of messed up and I started late, so I ended up shortening the planned excursion.

Started at Metcalf park. Took Hellyer to Hassler and climbed that bitch. Then climbed Aborn and was going to find the lower Mt. Hamilton route but somehow got mixed up. I decided to ride back to San Felipe on some random street. Then I just just climbed San Felipe and the back part of Metcalf to return to Metcalf park. Pretty good ride. It was way warmer than usual, and windier since it was an afternoon ride. My heel was bugging me some from standing on some of the climbs. The hardest bits were Hassler and that last little part of Metcalf. Wasn't in the easiest gear, ascending the hardest part of San Felipe/Metcalf today. Score. Descending Metcalf was easier than last time because the road was dry, thankfully.

2470' of climbing made a good workout but I need to do better.

equipment notes: The rt shifter is messed up again. It would bottom out and not shift at random occasions. I think the cable is getting hung in the housing. Might end up just upgrading the shifters since I bought them anyway. Also, the chain fell off the inner chainring while ascending Aborn. I think the limit screw somehow got moved.
