An East Bay Adventure with Two Challenges

Chuck gave me a heads-up—Sierra was in a mood. He swore he heard her cough up a hairball as he passed. But we went up anyway, and she made sure we regretted it. Every pedal stroke burned, but that was just the warm-up.

Welch Creek was waiting, and the moment I turned onto her, she caught Sierra’s scent on me. Big mistake. She was livid, calling me every name in the book as the road tilted skyward. No mercy, no relief—just a relentless, grinding climb. Near the top, she decided I wasn’t worthy and slammed the door in my face. And just to make sure I knew how she felt, she hurled an icy wind at me all the way down. Hell hath no fury like a scorned climb.
