Pre-spinal injection COVID swab complete. There was a good line of cars, but the wait ended up being only about 35 min.

Check out the course and see that it really does not favor a TT bike in the first place.
Here's the Strava activity:

It's the one climb around here that EVERYBODY does. 3miles, 1300 feet. Shaded. very little car traffic.

Since they said it was a 10km TT, I'm pretty sure that wasn't it. This one looks more like the triangle ride they showed in the video:

You are correct! I had the wrong link. Much flatter too

I've only been up this one once, barely. I keep meaning to go back, but every time I pass that road, my handlebars don't want to turn.

My best ever time on it is just under 25 minutes, but I'm 4 minutes off that these days. I did the 'Best Ever' about 20 years ago, so there's that.
I hadn't done it in 7 years, because I kept thinking "I'm too old to be doing this before I get a really solid base of miles" - basically wimping out. This Sunday, I even went down the West side - that's where I took that picture I posted, looking toward the Pacific, then back up a different way over the hill and down. Old La Honda is a great climb and a terrible descent. Conversely, La Honda Road (CA Rt. 84 is a terrible climb and a great descent.

If you look at the map at the bottom of the hill basically on both sides of the Mohawk you can climb 500-1000 over 1-2 miles along route 5S or Route 5. It’s pretty awesome. I used to live down there and do those climbs a lot more, now it’s a 30 mile ride to get to them so I don’t get down there much
One of the climbs is an old deteriorated road in a hollow that is no longer “open”

Is this good care? No, and it wouldn’t be tolerated where I work, but I’m not sure what the community standard is. When I was seeing patients regularly, I heard plenty of bad stories about community specialists. The system seems to be focused on throughput and making money and you’re just a widget on the belt. You could try an academic center where the level of professionalism might be higher, but the fellows turn over every couple of years and continuity can be shaky.
I'm supposed to see the MD in January, so I guess I'll stay put until at least then. It's not so easy switching. Probably need a referral, might have to go to the GP just for that. Then who knows where they'll try to refer me, I probably won't get an appointment for two or three months at a different place. Yada, yada, yada.

I'm not either. Before I saw solo witch doctors. No RNs or PAs.

If not satisfying, it's certainly worth getting an appointment with one of the physicians at your closest academic medical center as I had suggested a few pages back, if only as a "second opinion."

I just saw a patient who is a not-so-serious cyclist. He is also a pilot. He told me his chain was worn so he had to take it to the shop to get a new chain and cassette and chainrings that were also worn.
I did suggest he could just change his chain every 3000 miles and/or measure chain wear to avoid having worn cassettes and chainrings.
I hope I reached him. Not sure.
