That picture above shows that after around 8 miles, it’s more or less downhill over the next 14 miles.<\/p>\n

Not quite what I experienced today.<\/p>\n

The first 8 miles were pretty tough – with a pretty serious incline to end it – but it was thankfully short. Was a nice, little, mean exclaimation point on the end of the uphill.<\/p>\n

Made it to the first rest stop in good time – about an hour. Though my SAG car did a drive by – making me feel like we were slow. Salvador slept for most of it.<\/p>\n

I was feeling it a bit in my calves and such – but since the next 14 miles were more or less downhill, why worry?<\/p>\n

We got some good speed down to the 280 and there was a slight uphill as we turned along side the 280, but I wouldn’t argue about that not being on the profile – in the big picture, it was negligible.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But this street – Elena – wasn’t.\u00a0 A very unpleasant surprise. Nowhere on this profile map – it’s around mile 14 – mile 14 in that picture above looks tranquil. Looking at it now, miles 12-17 look like data’s just missing – so they drew a strange, tranquil line.<\/p>\n

Tranquil does not lead to calves cramping. <\/p>\n

Sweat pouring down my face – I just focused on how it was a good thing that I didn’t drive the route first – as this whole thing was better as a surprise. I had to focus on that because for some reason, if I didn’t, I was focusing on the sweat on my nose which irritated me for some reason today. Might have been a touch of allergies up in those hills. \u00a0Still, each corner held hope for me that it was over. But wasn’t. If I drove it – I wouldn’t even have that hope – so I was glad I hadn’t driven the course first.<\/p>\n

Lots of nice houses up there. Pretty scenic too – but you’ll have to ask Salvador about it. I was concentrating on mainly the 10 feet of asphalt infront of me.\u00a0 Then it was downhill.\u00a0 And a nice cruise to the picnic. <\/p>\n

Picnic, though we were there early, had cold burgers. And chili that Sal thought looked better on me than it tasted.<\/p>\n

It was shorter than advertised – at around 25 miles – cause they had to change the start\/end location.\u00a0 I think I could have done another 5 miles at the end. Though I wouldn’t have wanted them at the beginning of the course – starting with the Sandhill\/Portola section was a good idea. Did it in about 3 hours, with maybe 30-40 minutes at the reststops letting Salvador socialize.<\/p>\n

\"Quite<\/a> <\/center>
\nWe saw the church up in the hills where Rob got married. That was a little strange. Passing by that made me realize we were really way out there. We also saw the hospital where Chapo had his eye surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All in all, a fun ride. Some money goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. I’m on a diet so the food being no good wasn’t a big issue. They still gave me an XXL shirt.<\/p>\n

I could use a massage. In places no one wants to touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
