Scott's Ride Blog

Well today was a great ride! I didn't feel as fast as I want to but there is time to still pick up a bit of speed. We set out at ~8am and the weather was perfect. As we climbed out of spring canyon I hit my max on the day 191.... I was feeling ok, we dropped down into Santee we kept a good pace thru the canyon and to the ranger station. We met up with a new guy Kent @ the ranger station and him and Jim beat up on us up the fire road climb I paused for a sec at the lot and headed to the top. I felt pretty strong its nice to have people push you I was in bigger gears than a year ago for sure! we descended into martha's and I was feeling great descending. We then took a detour up CARDIAC hill. This was a pretty serious but not that steep climb... But what was the killer was we then ridge ran and the steep ups and downs were taking thier toll. We had a fun decent back into Sycamore Cyn and then thru the cyn back to the power power lines. I was feeling tired but fast thru the single track back to mast blvd. back to mission trails and to the car great long ride today!
