The Wildcat Variation is sustained steep, it came across a bit shorter. It would be interesting to reverse the order to see how that goes.

If you know of anyone that would be interested in joining, even if it is for one lap, pass on an invite.

Next time... Wildcat, BOOB, Bohlman. We'll see what the times look like then!

Okay. Aug 14. Roll at 5:30 from the church (the last one on the right side before Saratoga approaching from Hwy 85). Hope to see everyone there.

14 Aug 2009 BOOB
Mudworm 36:15
MyNameisMud 36:41
Delbomber 44:20

Managed to hang with Mudworm up into the upper reaches of Bohlman.

We then did a partial second lap riding up the Wildcat Variation then down. Delbombers first time. Good fun and good conversation.

Finished up at the Blue Rock, coffee and pastries. Good fun.

The three of us rode up to the stop sign at the bottom of BOOB. While we had our fingers on the start buttons ready to press, Delbomer on my left said, "guys, let's just take it slow and easy, okay?" and Mud on my right responded, "Okay." And Boon! Suddenly, the two of them sprinted away from me like two arrows leaving their bows. So much for taking it slow and easy.

BOOBs this pm. 5:30.

The ride just does not get easy!

We are hoping for a record turn out this coming Friday, Aug 28. Come out and join us!

Last week was difficult for me. I blew up at the bottom of Bolhman and had nothing to give for the entire ride. Just painful.

F'ueco · « **Reply #68 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:04:21 PM »

I'll be there!

mynameismud · « **Reply #69 on:** August 28, 2009, 07:57:42 PM »

28 Aug 2009 BOOB
MyNameisMud 37:29
Mudworm 37:30
Fueco 41:43 PR - Escaped from the BOOB and did Bohlman.

I think I gave it an honest effort since I had one dry heave after topping out.

It was 104 degrees when I drove there. HOT! Mike, good job on riding all the way over in this heat.

Alison showed up, but then discovered that her gear cable was broken. She paid a bike shop to box her bike up when she flew back from the east coast. What a "fine" job they did!

Riding too and from wasn't all that bad. Actually the ride home was very nice. It had cooled off to 96 by the time I went past the bank just before 85 on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road.

Hopefully next time the temps won't be so hot. I think I can hang with you guys longer than 15 minutes!

F'ueco · « **Reply #72 on:** September 04, 2009, 09:43:41 AM »

We on tonight? Or do I have to do it alone?

mudworm · « **Reply #73 on:** September 04, 2009, 11:24:23 AM »

Mud packed his bike. I'm out because I'm doing a MTB ride tomorrow.

F'ueco · « **Reply #74 on:** September 04, 2009, 07:30:45 PM »

I never did see Mr. Mud out there... I went up Highway 9 (43:57 -which is 2:17 slower than my PR) and Montevina Road (1st time! PR by default at 38:00 (from the "Icy" sign at the bottom to the downhill end of the wood fence by the gate at the top)... =)). I waited for about 15 minutes at the top of On Orbit to see if Erik would come up. No dice... Did talk to another guy named John up there. And I climbed Apollo Heights Court, which is nice little 300 yard (or so) climb right at the top on On Orbit.

Beautiful afternoon for a ride! I started to late to get BOOB in too...

5 Sept 2009 BOOB
MyNameisMud 39.45.61
Delbomber 45.38.76

Delbomber and Mud were out there. Not fast but we rode. Passed a Guy coming down, while on the upper part of Bohlman, and a Gal was on top when I finished.

The long hours at work have taken their toll and the times. A sub 36 minute time seems very far away.

F'ueco · « **Reply #76 on:** September 05, 2009, 08:57:04 AM »

I may have seen Delbomber while I was going down Bohlman... I saw an Asian dude that looked vaguely familiar. I was wearing the San Jose Bike Club Jersey and taking the descent super slow.

Altogether, I saw four people going up while I was going down. Added to the guy that I talked to, there were a good number of people up there!

BOOB is on again! 5:30 at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Saratoga (the last one on the right side before downtown Saratoga approaching from Hwy 85).
