A brief summary of the Devil Mountain Double from my cycling computers:
- Distance: 206.4 miles
- Time: 14:56
- On-Bike Time: 13:42
- Rest Time: 1:14
- Speed:
- On Bike Avg: 15.1 mph
- Total Avg: 13.8 mph
- Max: 45mph
- Total Climbing: 18360ft
Compared to 2005, I was about 25 minutes slower total time, but my on bike time was only about 5 minutes or so slower. (I estimated that my rest time in 2005 was about 45-50 minutes, compared to 75 minutes this year.) So even though I was really slow up Sierra Road, and had a few cramping issues, my performance on the bike was amazingly consistent.

Tina and I took a long weekend trip to Yosemite on Easter Weekend. I’ve posted the pictures here

As part of her 508 training, Tina rode from Livermore to Mt. Hamilton on Saturday, climbing the steep backside road. Joining her was her friend Gabrielle, and I came along to document the journey. The pictures here.
I also took a video of Tina and Gabrielle climbing the backside, and I’ve embedded the video below.

A rather large buck was in our backyard this evening. He decided that our newly exposed dirt area was a perfect spot on which to relax.
Here’s a close up. His rack is a thing of beauty.
