This ride is named for the penultimate track (#6) of the Ahmad Jamal Trio's 1970 "The Awakening" and is, therefore, the 6th pedal in this series.
This was a journey of adjustments. Intended to be 45 miles as means of building up to 60-milers-comfortably in preparation for October 6th W&R Metric Century (this immediately following the 48 that took the wind out of my sails previous to this attempting to actually ride the W&R course), I was churning up the choppy & roughened country roadway that is Indian Valley Road, on way to the boomerang point I'd set up for self at Hare Canyon Road, but two barnyard dogs came out to greet me and (came off their property to do so) I went ahead and u-turned right then and there because they were such perfect anti-concierge style sentries. Which is all just as well because I ended up turning left on Vineyard Canyon Road instead, completely unfamiliar territory, and giving it about 10 miles up-and-back. This is my new recommendation (for me and for other riders): This is a far better roadway, not only because it was devoid of canines on this day but because it looked like the Counties (SLO and Monterey) in charge of keeping it pristine are doing a far better job of it than they are on Indian Valley (IMHO). Used a dilapidated set of red barn structures as my boomerang point wherein I could refuel and get in a little solitudinous and quiet rural wanderlust before getting back to River Road and the pedal homeward. It should be noted that I ended up moving up about 100 places on the segment roster by fully focusing on a faster cadence on the four mile stretch; don't know if I'll ever do better than 14:36, but at least I have a more solid benchmark from which to "compete"...
