After a failed bike fit - they scheduled me an hour early and then after driving over an hour and waiting for an hour (which turned out to be a nice time visiting with Kami) I only got a few seat adjustments - I went for a ride in Pescadero. I took Stage road to 84 to Pescadero Creek and back to the car. I thought about turning around many times during this ride. The beginning was a lot of climbing so the only thing that kept me from turning around was knowing that I had to do that Stage Road climb again. I hated the entire ride. My legs are beat making the ride less and less fun (remember it started out at a zero on a fun scale of 1-10). I did complete the whole ride, found out the cheverons that I thought were going to kill me were only half uphill the other half downhill.
Highlights of the ride
- I saw quail. These little birds crack me up. I don't know why they insist on running everywhere when they have wings. They are not like an ostrich who cannot fly, they just choose not to fly very often. I like that you often see them in pairs or as a family line. I also enjoy that they start off so slow walking and then turn up the speed then slow back down then fast fast. It is like they only have slow and turbo, no in between speeds. They are very entertaining animals
- I saw a coyote. Not such a fun animal a little more intimidating. It ran across the street as I was riding. It was beautiful, unlike most coyote I see around our house. This one had eaten lots of rabbits and had a good strong build to it.
- Stopped in at Norm's Market and got the best artichoke bread of my life. Still warm when I picked it up. This bread is worth the trip to this small town!
