The ride, the weather, the light, the company - all so good! We've had several beautiful days in a row before another week of cold and possibly rainy weather. It was great to get out there and enjoy it although at the start it was maybe too warm. For some reason the climb up Huddart felt easy today and then descending Kings I was mostly taking it easy. When we left Huddart, Natalie was behind me and I thought she actually caught up to me, which I thought was great and started to speed up. Then I found out it was actually Maxime instead. Either way, I had fun going fast and bombing the descent. When we got to the Albion sprint, I was getting ready to go but Natalie, who was leading, started to take off first. I gave chase and ended up with a bunch of new power PRs. I got a new max power - 1,247W and I was over 1,200W for 5s which is another new PR. Kite Hill was beautiful but not a ton of wildflowers. There are wildflowers everywhere, just not a crazy super bloom like we saw a few years ago. It feels like we won't get one this year either. At the end of the ride, we still had an hour of daylight so Kira and I continued riding to Carmel-by-the-Sea... I mean Atherton to mansion gawk.
