Hello all, I'm sharing my mountain bike ride from this afternoon. The shot below is Vasona Park in Los Gatos, CA. It was an overcast January afternoon, good temp for riding at 66* F.
The ride was 18 miles, 1,883 ft of climbing and just short of 2 hours in the hills above Los Gatos.
The GPS is from a Garmin Vivoactive HR uploaded to Strava. Under the red GPS track is the outline of the elevation, the speed is the blue line, estimated power in black and heart rate in red.
On the way there, I rode over this bridge over highway 17 which has colorful paintings from the local grade school kids. They change from time to time and are of the local area and surroundings.
This is my 2010 Norco hard tail MTB. It's pretty nice to climb on at 23.5 lbs, not the lightest but much better than 30 lbs!
My reward for the effort was a sandwich from a new restaurant that opened up in Campbell named Mendocino Farms Sandwich Co. Below is a pesto chicken on ciabatta bread. Pretty tasty sandwich!
So this is my entry into the Bike, Hike, Run contest... just kidding. But a post similar to this would definitely qualify.
