WTF Phoenix! You ever hear of a switchback?? Got through the ride today without the legs blowing up on me, but around mile 10(!) they were really wondering what they signed up for today :). Great ride all-in-all. Really cool scenery and road out to the lake. It certainly satisfied my climbing itch. Good day to do it with the slightly cooler temps today. Oh…and there was a great little marina shop at the turn around. So nice to be able to fuel up for the ride back. Though, I got scolded by the lady running the shop for learning my bike up against their newly painted house (column in front). Not newly like yesterday, but a couple weeks ago. Clearly she is not familiar with the mentality of a cyclist willing to make the ride out to her shop! I would never let my baby get scratched, but leaning it up against something so haphazardly.
