Wanted to do something easy on Saturday so I would have some juice left for helping my friend move on Sunday. Paradise is a good ride to put in your miles, but not necessarily kill yourself doing it.

Had a good climb up Camino Alto. I was trying keep up with some fast guys from the "Mission Bike Club." We reduced a group of about 25 to 6 riders, but I couldn't quite overtake them- we'll blame it on my weight =). I did keep their pace though. We were averaging 14 mph on the climb. I couldn't have done much more. The ole lungs had a nice burn going, and the legs were starting to feel like jello.

later.
