Hills and more Hills

I rode later with Dean today. When your as old as I am, it takes till about noon for everything to start working. It was a great day riding to Lake Wolford and to the base of Palomar Mountain. The chalk markings from the Tour de California were still visible on the road and for a moment I thought I was Lance Armstrong charging up Lake Wolford Rd. I quickly realized (NOT) as my speed indicated about 6mph and Lance was doing 15mph up that hill. We did our doping at 7-11 and got injections of Dr. Pepper so we could crank out the final miles.

Preview of Sunday's stage

I hadn't ridden for 3 weeks and thought I better get back to riding Before atrophy set in. I'm so exited about the Tour de California coming to San Diego I decided to sample the course. I only did 35 miles of it yet climbed over 4,000 feet. They're in for a challenging ride. I started at Valley View Casino and went west on Valley Center to Cole Grade road which took me over to hwy 76. From there I rode East and partway up Palomar Mtn. Coming down I turned of 76 to Valley Center past Harrahs Casino and a nasty hill to finish. Yes I could tell I hadn't ridden in three weeks but not bad for a NEW GRANDPA. Now sleeping with a GRANDMA (ouch).
