This weekend I will miss the ride as I have a work event in Los Angeles. Mixed feelings as it is a great event, but will miss a ride that I normally wouldn't do as it is way out in East County. I will also miss seeing my friends in Gp 4. The ride is supposed to be a tough series of climbs, although only 40 mile in length. Altogether 4K plus of climb and it is forecast to be hot out there this weekend.
I went for a training ride thos morning and included Torrey Pines. Although I never did the "offfical" time trial, I did one of my own before I started this. Today, despite losing my chain at the bottom - which was at least 45 seconds, I shaved over a minute off my prior time without going hard at all. I think if I pushed it I could really take sometime off. Torrey pines is an interesting hill as it is long and relatively steep and somewhat locally reveered.
I added some miles at the end to round out to 40 with about 2K of climb. So not quite what I would have got tomorrow, but enough to keep fitness hopefully. Off to Europe on business next week so no riding, but back for the Oceanside ranger twist, one of 3 remaining training rides. It's getting close!
