This kicked my butt! The early 300 ft accent was steep as you can see. I got the approx. to the 688' mark, rested, then had to stop TWO more times to reach the water tower, a good stopping point!

The decent was a little scary. sadly i braked prob close to half of the decent. Continued to the end of Garden road. Then rode part of the route Alexis and Chin Chin hiked last week-end.  W/o nobbies on my rims, it was slow going, walking the sandy inclines.
Then i sprinted (for me) from the Sycamore Cyn.  Rd. to the 7-ll store at Poway Rd!
I am still feeling it! today!

Up dated March 6, 2011. Very Tired! Not a thing left in these legs. Got a major thigh cramp a mile from home.

I had no idea where i was going. At Pomererado rd. I saw all these cyclist coming towards me, So I follow from where they were comig from. There were many many cyclist. On a varity of bike

I need cycling clothes! I was pretty cold from my soaked shirt. About a mile from the freeway I stopped for some hot coco. and changed my shirt. But it was too hot so to keep it dry i changed back.

Once i crossed I 5, i looked down this long hill (still 400' above sea level), i was too tired to ride back up that hill and all the hills back home.

it was a slow going back home, stopping at good ol' Beth's  for a rest. Good fun (except for being coold) ride.

Needlessto say I'm bushed, I also did 13 miles

yestrday. Total for the weekend 53 miles!!

Sycamore Cyn Rd to almost Scripps poway Pkwy.

Went off road. My goal was to mtb to 67 via the many pathways. Roughly 2/3s up ay this grove of tress I lost the trail due to all the new plant groth.

I took the path to the Pkwy tunnel (for critters), then backtrack past the grove approx .7mi. I actually walked tru the grove even crossed the drybed. Walking up the small hill. For the life of me I could not find the trail you can see where I vereed S joining the Pkwy and up 67 to Poway, PS. Dont ride down Poway grade very dangerous. No Freeking shoulde most of the way!

Glenn texted me i had 15 min. b4 the sunset. No choice but to turn around. Sucks cause its a long steep climp. Now to it all again and more...
