Sunday - 2000
This was the first Saturday/Sunday in about 3 that was dry ... everyone was excited to get on the road.
The ride started with what has become our normal ascent into Moraga by way of Grizzly Peak. it took me forever to get up grizzly, my legs were tired, i was tired, still not quite 100% from the cold i couldnt get over. Once we peaked at grizzly, we dropped down the other side, a real cool downhill that rides under various canopies. Cool, dark, eerily magical? From there we road to city streets through Lafayette .. then we cut into a rural area of the east bay ... towards what we have labeled the "barn ride" .. cool ride that includes riding through the country side with cattle and horses and then a sole climb up to a barn then an amazing decline .. i got up to 43mph downhill! brandon pointed out later that even though we envision a barn at the summit of the climb -- there is no barn .. weird
We then rode 3 bears, which as one can guess -- is 3 climbs: mama, papa and baby (cute i know) and then crossed over to wildcat canyon which is a little more challenging then going over grizzly from the other berkeley side which we started. i was really happy with my climbs on the barn, 3 bears and wildcat -- the below pictures are from the last climb on 3 bears...

take 2sunday i worked for about 3 hours and made just under a hundred bucks .. none of which i ever saved (see tim barry - Avoiding Catatonic Surrender)
-- but i got cut at 8 and headed over to the pool! that worked out great. i had my own lane for about 95% of the workout ..
