Day 1 of the #kateepic. Plus another slow leak on the rear tire, this time while descending Morgan Territory! ☹️ I'm not sure if I had a slow leak all along or if I pinch flatted on the way down. I was going through a sweeping, high-speed lefthander and my rear tire squirmed in the turn. I thought maybe I just hit a rock or something. I was lucky it didn't completely go during the turn and that I was able to make it down the rest of the descent. Time for new tires. The day started off cold and very foggy but by the time we got to the base of Diablo, we stripped all the layers. It was really nice the whole way up to the top. I was surprised at how warm it was already. On the way down to the north gate, it started getting foggy and cold again. Fortunately that was short lived and it was nice again in Clayton where we had lunch at Panera Bread. I think that's my second time ever eating at a PB. The sandwich I had was really good, probably better than what I would've had at Subway. Not filling enough though. Had to get a cookie for dessert. I normally hate Morgan Territory but today was the first time I had fun. We were taking it easy so I was doing photo intervals - sprinting ahead to get shots and then sprinting again to catch back up.
