1:26:00 | | SS - too many hikers out - total clogged trails. First attempt at riding up Dreaded Hill on the SS and won't ever attempt again. Brutal. Had to stop often to get HR down as was standing on the pedals for a huge portion of it. Wipes you out totally. A little extra credit as went to Marks Bench. Perfect temps though to be on the bike. | 791 | 156/181 |

2:08:15 | | SS - lots of folks out as they just reopened the parking lot. Counted 245 hikers on the ride. Saw 5 Linked Cycling guys at the meadow so chatted with them for a bit. Lovely temps out - perfect actually. Did better on the SS today than I thought. Saw a decent sized rattler and also a gopher snake on my ascent. | 926 | 153/181 |

1:32:53 | | SS - Perfect temps this morning for a ride. Saw a couple quail and a nice 3 foot gopher snake. Quite a few folks out. A couple didn't belong on their bikes at all - street bikes and no helmets. Really? Just a delightful ride. | 823 | 153/176 |

53:15 | | Burned all my juice on the uphill segment after the 5 fwy - 16 seconds! Took 4 miles before I felt good again to pick up the pace. Also had to slow and stop a few times as a zillion families and kids on bikes made for treacherous riding on the trail. Saw Isaac and chatted with him. Nice and warm out. | 352 | 144/164 |

2:53:00 | | Hot out today. Rode the 25 miler in honor of the event that was postponed due to Covid 19. Lots of deep stream crossings that required climbing over on a log. Saw a huge 4 foot gopher snake in the arroyo. | 1466 | 161/178 |

2:37:19 | | Geared Niner - nice to not kill myself on the super steep hills. But strangely knees hurting afterwards, while last weekend on the SS doing 31 miles, no issues. Lots of stream crossings in the arroyo - 3 had to walk on log as too deep to ride through. Waterworks is amazing - whomoever did the work on the berms and jumps, kudos to you. Never been more fun to ride. Other Comments | 1250 | 163/181 |

58:00 | | SS - second ride of the day - Like I said, zillions of families out hiking or on bikes. Some mud but trails draining quite well. Streams in Whiting are running, but not too bad. | 632 | 157/187 |

2:03:00 | | SS - Never seen so many bikes out with families on the trail as today. Most of these bikes hadn't seen daylight for 5 years as they've been sitting in garages. Bikes that had no business being in O'Neil and other parts of the route, but with the Corona Virus, everyone was out and about in the sunshine. Muddy in spots but not too bad. | 1030 | 157/187 |
