Better than riding in yesterday’s rain. The weather was so nice Friday, you never would’ve guessed there would be so much rain on Saturday. Even today was really nice except for the very chilly and fairly strong wind. I made sure to plan for a tailwind on the way home and it was very, very, nice. I didn’t think I would get to ride today but my plans got canceled. I put together some more new roads for myself and there were plenty of roads the guys haven’t done yet. All in all the route was very nice. Not on the route but we were there so we had to try it, Oak Cove Trail. Technically not bike legal, this gravel trail was empty and a shallow enough grade to road bike down. Took the guys to Emerald Hills Cafe. We go to Sancho's all the time but they never notice the cafe before. And we lucked out as they had enough strawberry croissants for us. Also their first time, we went to Taqueria Mi Durango. I was trying to figure out where to go to lunch and not make the ride too long as I needed to be home by 3p and then I remember Mi Durango. It worked out pretty perfectly with trying Oak Cove Trail. Since we were doing a shorter ride and most of the climbing was front loaded, I decided to push harder on the steeper climbs.
