Last good weather day for a week and by then I will be heading to Calif. for a bike ride. Need to taper now for next weeks event. Tony, from the Y spin class, joined me. He is 20 years younger and faster so I had to work harder to stay with him. It took us 2hours 42 minutes to make the 24 miles which I think is a record for me. Need to check this. Relatively no traffic going up or down so it was great. Weather overcast, cool and no rain. Tony headed home after we got to Ashford where our cars were parked but my odometer said only 48.12 miles and so I headed back for more miles and a piece of blackberry pie at Copper Creek Restaurant. Worth the 3 miles back although they have changed from marionberry to blackberry which has more seeds. Oh well, Still needed another 5 miles to get 60 in, so headed out Kernahan rd. and then back to Ashford for their salmon burger and fries. All in all, I did not suffer from lack of calories although I skipped lunch. Data: I normally ride L0 from Ashford to Longmire but could not stay with Tony so moved to L1. For some reason, L1 seems very very draggy. Normally ride L1 to mile 22 but could not stay with Tony so went to L2 from Longmire to Paradise. So main battery was being drawn down very fast and at Inspiration Point, I turned on the range extender battery. Reading were 22/86. ER eventually went to 0 and main battery ended at 71
