I'm just your average 30 something white geeky male who want's to be cool... but it's hard when you drive a minivan!
TwitterFacebookFlickrYoutubeRide Report: La Honda and Back
I was inspired by one of my interweb friend's rides from a few weeks back that I decided to start exploring the west side a bit. I started my ride from my apartment in Sunnyvale and headed out towards Old La Honda via Arastradero/Alpine/Portolla loop.
I took it easy so I wouldn't burn up all my energy and started snapping photos (3.4 MPH... pathetic!)
winding through the redwoods
got passed by a couple of guys (he made it up in 21 mins)
I was going to catch him when I crossed the go mark but them reminded myself to take it easy...
Made it to the top in 36 minutes (not quite my slowest time ever but pretty damn close... I didn't put much effort into this climb)
Started my decent down Old La Honda West... Nice Curves!
it's amazingly green on this side of the hill...
took a break to shoot some bike porn...
gazed at some amazing vistas
passed a postcard looking red barn on Hwy 84...
I think this is where I turn...
there where some soothing streams near West Alpine...
practiced taking some panda shots...
started to climb back on West Alpine
I think this sums up my feelings about cars...
I didn't know Snoopy lived here!
passed a wine vineyard
for some reason all the cows on West Alpine...
started looking like this...
here are my ride stats..
my next epic will be to the beach and back.
