Annedel, should be fun. I only been there once..

Whew... I totally forgot about riding and went bouldering... Good thing you canceled.

I'll be out in Bishop next Friday for the Eastern Sierra Double. Perhaps the following week...

I felt good and thought that I might PR but came in a minute slower than last week.

Don't forget the BOOB ride Friday at 5:30. There is even talk of a Double BOOB ride Friday.

Just keep it to two; because three BOOBs would just be unnatural...

I felt good and worked at pacing myself. Broke a spoke not too far up the first part of Bohlman and ended up having to stop and tuck the spoke in.

Mudworm ended up with a fairly good time considering she is fighting a stomach flu.

I just got back from a nice little 20 mile jaunt. Did three reps on the Calaveras "wall" (that's the steep part at the top) along with the ride out and back. Just over 20 miles. I felt really "good" on that last rep! Next time I'll do either Sierra or the climb up Felter before doing the reps...

Today's lunchtime ride: did the first 1/2 mile of Sierra Road and Old Calaveras (along with the short hill up Downing Road to Ed Levin Park). Distance was just a touch over 30 miles, and a little under two hours elapsed time ) with perhaps 1000 feet of climbing.

Felt strong but did not get close to the 35 that I am gunning for.

For those that are interested their is a plan for a BOOB ride Friday.

Mud, per my calculation I think this time I won this round of the La castina Burrito challenge by 7 sec’s. Please confirm…

Actually, it's 17 seconds. But are you guys saying shaving 2 minutes off is all equal regardless of baseline?

mynameismud · « **Reply #30 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:44:06 PM »

That is correct baseline does not matter. It is the time difference that matters. So yes if he shaves off 2 minutes I have to meet or exceed that.

How do you guys ride that thing so fast? It took me 50 minutes on Saturday... Granted, my low gear is a 34-26 (and I'd already done Redwood Gulch), but still... Crazy!

We practice almost every Friday. The triple does help. I use the middle ring (a 40) up to the wall then have to drop down to the 30. My large cog in the back is a 27. I also drop down for the steep part of On Orbit. I am trying to get the whole thing in my middle. Hopefully by that time I can get it below 35 which is what I have been shooting for.

It is tough to believe but I know a guy that towed a bob trailer, with his 9 month old child in it, up that road. And, no he does not have a triple. That feat just seems super human.

Hopefully my 11-28 cassette will show up this week. Then I can tackle that hill again to see what the difference is. But I probably shouldn't do the climb on Friday since I'm doing the Silicon Valley Olympic Distance Triathlon on Sunday...

Good speed to you on the Tri and hope to see you on one of the BOOB rides.

Are y'all planning on crushing BooB Friday afternoon this week?

mudworm · « **Reply #36 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:06:27 AM »

We are planning on a hill packed road ride for this weekend that will cover BOOB. If we do that, I might suggest skipping the BOOB excursion on Friday evening. On the other hand, I'm quite interested in giving Kennedy Trail (fireroad riding) a spin if we do get out on Friday evening.

mudworm · « **Reply #37 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:21:42 AM »

Oh, F'ueco, did you go back to BOOB after you got your new cassette? How was it? I read your blog on your last excursion and thought it was an amusing read.

F'ueco · « **Reply #38 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:37:53 AM »

Not yet, but that's exactly what I had in mind! My parts showed up on Monday afternoon, so I just got in a 30 mile ride with some rollers (didn't want to do too much the day after a race!). And yesterday I took it relatively easy. I just rode 30 miles to/from Rancho San Antonio to run with the SV Tri Club. I may get out this evening, as there is a free time trial series on Canada Road that I've meaning to check out (it's a 10.4 mile race).

For now, I am in Santa Cruz waiting on my car to be done at the shop. Should be soon! Then I'm off to the beach for a swim. Looks like the overcast is going to lift just in time...
