Sunday I did 16 miles in Arcadia climbing those nasty 15% roads that go straight up to the Angeles Crest. On Monday knocked out another 16 miles riding with a buddy after I tuned his rim brake road bike. Wednesday did 33 miles, 5 rose bowl laps and ended the ride climbing up Mt. Washington. Thursday did 18 miles over at Griffith Park. All 4 riding days had perfect sunny weather!

Saturday...18mi on the gravel bike, starting with the climb up Chaney Trail descending to the Meadows, pavement to Cherry Canyon for a climb and some fun singletrack. I did a couple of short and easy rides this week, trying to recover from BWR. I hit Chaney with a threshold effort, and posted a PR. Added another PR on the Cherry climb. My legs felt really good all day.
Sunday - My regular Coffee Ride (40mi). Easy tempo pace out to Duarte, sitting on the front with a good friend for a good chunk of it. On the return, I hit the Winson climb hard, kept on the power over the top, and opened a pretty big gap. I settled into a hard tempo through Monrovia and Arcadia, stayed clear of the group, and finished in Sierra Madre about a minute ahead of the next guy. The fitness boost from last week's BWR is no joke. I felt really good.

I'm somewhat new to San Diego and haven't heard of this ride (couldn't find it on the interwebs either). Can you tell me a bit about it? Route?

should be good. back improved last two days. yeah, will ride the pinarello treviso. dying to ride the 1988 nishiki olympic but
it needs a new wheel set. haven't been riding enuff to justify it with three other perfectly good roadie steeds and too lazy (for now)
to swap out cassettes to ride with an existing wheelset on one of the other bikes.
