Dinosaur Ridge

Well, the 10k run is over and the Elephant Rock century bike ride is now staring me in the face...and I've barely been on the bike. Time to start getting ready. I did a 40 mile ride with 2000 vertical feet. Not a bad ride. Afterwards I just sat in the backyard where it was cooler.

There is a particular hill that I used to find difficult. It was a long, slow grind. Today I decided to try spinning rather than grinding (a skill I need to learn, but have troubles with). I managed to hit on it for most of the climb - and then I was done, and wasn't sure how I used to think it was so hard. Yup, definitely need to practice this spinning thing more.
