Today was a "flat day" but I'm realizing there is no flat riding along a coast. We descend and ascend for every river mouth. Today I found out I can pedal 250 lbs up a 15% grade; and, we can cruise at 36 mph, given a straight road with a downhill (I didn't check the grade).
2500 ft of climbing was the total by the end of this "flat day". I wonder what it will tomorrow?
As a fellow non-climber, feeling your pain....and jubilation!
ReplyDeleteYou would have loved the rollers along the coast we road yesterday, just north of Jenner. Beautiful scenery, smooth pavement,little traffic - perfect!
