So I'm turning 40 in a couple of weeks and my most excellent wife cut me loose for a day of riding followed up by a 90 min massage. I made the most of it by getting in nearly 85 miles on the local roads.
The original plan was ambitious -- we were going to head up to tackle the King Ridge ride I still haven't done, but Pete convinced me to do a slightly easier ride closer to home. We planned to meet at 8:30, so I left at sunrise and rode over Pantoll to Stinson Beach, then south along the coast and back over to the Depot. Pete showed up at our meeting place closer to 9:00, nursing a massive hangover he had from staying out until 3am celebrating another friend's 40th. He also managed to forget his helmet at home and generally looked like he was lacking the requisite motivation to ride 10 miles, much less 60. But the guy can rally, and rally he did. We rode out to Pt. Reyes Station, and then back home via Olema/Sir Francis Drake. We caught the tail end of the PurplePatch group ride in San Anselmo and enjoyed an easy spin back to MV.
81 miles on the bike today, with about 6K of climbing and 90 minutes on the massage table. Thanks to my lovely wife!
