I couldn't motivate myself to get out the door yesterday. I wanted to go to Calero but then I saw how hot it was and noped out of that! Thankfully today, Catherine said she was going to do Dirt Alpine. At first I was going to ride my MTB and do a bigger Midpen ride and also descend the new Dirt Alpine to see what it's like. But I wasn't thrilled with the climbing ratio. Another thing I've been wanting to do for a while is have lunch at American Bistro at Shoreline. Seemed like a good opportunity to see how road bikeable Dirt Alpine is. After the first ride I felt like it was and it ended up being very road bikeable. It wasn't even rough either so my tubeless road tires gave me plenty of suspension. The Bistro was PACKED. I waited in line for a quite a long time and it turned out the reason was because the cashier also preps the drink orders before moving on to the next customer. I think I waited in line for longer than it took me to eat. On the way out to Shoreline on Stevens Creek Trail and along Shoreline, it was really windy. After lunch especially because of the wind, it was actually chilly until I got warmed up again. I was very happy to get off the Bay Trail and into Atherton where the was some shelter from the wind. Towards the end of the ride my legs were feeling more tired than they should've. I blame the wind.
