This thread is used to track our lunch/after work rides and their times. The rides we have done include: 1. BOOB: Bohlman/On-Orbit/Bohlman. And we usually meet at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Saratoga (the last one on the right side before downtown Saratoga approaching from Hwy 85). In the winter, we meet in downtown (Public Parking on 3rd St). This route has been done in Low Key series a couple of times in the past. ( 2007 1996) 2. BOOB Low Key variation: This ride is just a variation of BOOB. We turn left on Norton Rd shortly after the start and it eventually dumps us on On Orbit. Some people say it's a little steeper and more sustained. Low Key Series will be doing this variation on Nov 9, 2009. 3. OLH: Old La Honda. This is a classic hill climb near Woodside. Low Key Series has been doing this ride many times, and Mudworm participated this year ( 2009). 4. Montebello: Montebello Rd is a classic hill climb near Stevens Creek Reservoir. Again, this is usually the opening climb for Low Key Series each year.

Mud, perhaps if you let me know when you're gonna do these things I can come along and motivate you to go faster? I know it would help me go faster...  |

We will be riding Montabello tomorrow ( after work I think) I can modify this post in the morning and let you know.
Then Friday after work Bohlman - On Orbit - Bohlman. This will probably start around 4:30.

Sorry I couldn't make it today... I've been sick and run down all week, and only slightly better today. I figure it's better to let myself recover. Perhaps next time!

I propose we meet again by the church. Rolling at 5:30. There is a bathroom in downtown we can stop at before hitting the bottom of Bohlman. |

Once again a PR for both of us. Part way up the hill I passed a guy. He rode my wheel for a while before passing me at which point I rode his wheel for a while. I caught a bit of a second wind so I picked up the pace and managed to pass him and take the lead and set a good pace through the steeper sections. After the grade backed off he once again pulled ahead, then set pace to the top.
At the top he said "Thank you, I needed to dig down for some motivation for that one". I returned the Thanks. I was very happy to see the sub 21 time. I would really like to get a sub 20. We shall see.

Mr. Mud was holding back last time we were on OLH! Well, I'm happy with the PR.
Okay, this Friday, BOOB ride. Roll at 5:30 from the church (see link below). We won't be able to hang out long because we have a dinner engagement back in La Honda afterwards.

Muds, Sorry I will not be able to make this week. I blew my rear tire today on Del purta Canyon. I went through two tubes and started a 5 mile walk out at 98-100 degree heat with no water... Lucky for me a 87 year man named Burt stop and ask me if I wanted a ride. I will be there next week. I may be in Anodale on Sunday.. Mud I will call you Friday night..

Glad that you made it out fine. Okay, we'll cancel tomorrow's ride, and get back on it next Friday. It'll be nice to ride with you at Annadel on Sunday.

I felt good and thought that I might PR but came in a minute slower than last week.
Don't forget the BOOB ride Friday at 5:30. There is even talk of a Double BOOB ride Friday.

Just keep it to two; because three BOOBs would just be unnatural...

I felt good and worked at pacing myself. Broke a spoke not too far up the first part of Bohlman and ended up having to stop and tuck the spoke in.
Mudworm ended up with a fairly good time considering she is fighting a stomach flu.

I just got back from a nice little 20 mile jaunt. Did three reps on the Calaveras "wall" (that's the steep part at the top) along with the ride out and back. Just over 20 miles. I felt really "good" on that last rep! Next time I'll do either Sierra or the climb up Felter before doing the reps...  |

Today's lunchtime ride: did the first 1/2 mile of Sierra Road and Old Calaveras (along with the short hill up Downing Road to Ed Levin Park). Distance was just a touch over 30 miles, and a little under two hours elapsed time ) with perhaps 1000 feet of climbing.

Actually, it's 17 seconds. But are you guys saying shaving 2 minutes off is all equal regardless of baseline?

That is correct baseline does not matter. It is the time difference that matters. So yes if he shaves off 2 minutes I have to meet or exceed that.

How do you guys ride that thing so fast? It took me 50 minutes on Saturday... Granted, my low gear is a 34-26 (and I'd already done Redwood Gulch), but still... Crazy! |

We practice almost every Friday. The triple does help. I use the middle ring (a 40) up to the wall then have to drop down to the 30. My large cog in the back is a 27. I also drop down for the steep part of On Orbit. I am trying to get the whole thing in my middle. Hopefully by that time I can get it below 35 which is what I have been shooting for. It is tough to believe but I know a guy that towed a bob trailer, with his 9 month old child in it, up that road. And, no he does not have a triple. That feat just seems super human.

Hopefully my 11-28 cassette will show up this week. Then I can tackle that hill again to see what the difference is. But I probably shouldn't do the climb on Friday since I'm doing the Silicon Valley Olympic Distance Triathlon on Sunday... |

We are planning on a hill packed road ride for this weekend that will cover BOOB. If we do that, I might suggest skipping the BOOB excursion on Friday evening. On the other hand, I'm quite interested in giving Kennedy Trail (fireroad riding) a spin if we do get out on Friday evening. |

Oh, F'ueco, did you go back to BOOB after you got your new cassette? How was it? I read your blog on your last excursion and thought it was an amusing read.

Not yet, but that's exactly what I had in mind! My parts showed up on Monday afternoon, so I just got in a 30 mile ride with some rollers (didn't want to do too much the day after a race!). And yesterday I took it relatively easy. I just rode 30 miles to/from Rancho San Antonio to run with the SV Tri Club. I may get out this evening, as there is a free time trial series on Canada Road that I've meaning to check out (it's a 10.4 mile race). For now, I am in Santa Cruz waiting on my car to be done at the shop. Should be soon! Then I'm off to the beach for a swim. Looks like the overcast is going to lift just in time... |
