The weather was perfect this evening, only chilly descending Page Mill. I’ve been wanting to do a golden hour ride up on the ridge because it’s always so beautiful. The original plan was to do Russian Ridge but Kira didn’t want to do anymore dirt after Dirt Alpine. Really she just didn’t want to do anything bumpy that would hurt her nose that’s still not 100%. I guess the original original plan was that Ali wanted to do the Egan ride but Kira tweaked her back so we didn’t. So really this was all about Kira. 🤣 If we were only climbing Dirt Alpine, I was going to ride my road bike but everyone else was on their gravel bikes and I thought maybe I could convince Kira to do some more dirt up top. Narrator - he did! So glad we did Monte Bello so I could get my golden hour ridge fix. 😊
