View Larger Map Absolutely perfect weather today … upper 70s, maybe low 80s … i.e. not very hot and a nice breeze at my back while climbing Emigration, but not strong enough to be struggling against a headwind on the descent. I’ve had better days up that climb, but I’ve had a lot more worse [...] View Larger Map In honor of both the Giro and Tour of California mountain stages today, I decided to go out and climb a couple mountains … I thought that Little Mountain to Big Mountain and back to Little Mountain sounded good. Then, in honor of the UCI’s decision to skip one of the Giro [...] View Larger Map More than doubled my total mileage for the year (thus far) today, and first attempt at Emigration Canyon for the season … and boy, do I suck. I had a number of people stop to ask if I was okay, or if I needed anything as I was gasping for air and [...] Just got back from watching Stage 15 from Pamiers to Bagnères du Luchon up at the Warehouse, and like many others, I must assert that Alberto Contador is a complete and total douchebag.

I think it was the 18% gradient on Golden Eagle and similar 10% plus grades on Sunset Ridge. Five days in a row on the bike. For me that’s a lot, even though I only averaged about 18.5 miles each day … [...] Not a fan of the new Garmin Connect over Motionbased.com; on Motionbased, there was a link so that I could view a larger version of a ride map on Google maps, but this feature is not available in Garmin Connect, and I can’t figure out how to export the route information into another format that [...] View Larger Map Doctor Cross may be able to easily drop me on a climb, but I can catch him on a descent without having to work too hard. It was hot hot hot today. Wearing black jersey/shorts combo was probably not the wisest move, but the red made me feel like a ripe tomato. [...] View Larger Map Emigration Canyon for the second time of the season; generally felt a little better than the last time I climbed it, but had to hit the inhaler a couple of times on the climb.
