Sorry about the delay since my last post. When the weather is nice in the summer, I do longer rides and don’t always remember to post about them. We have had some hot days (up into the high 90s F) but it’s still pleasant in the morning.
I finished my Strava July distance challenge with a total of 1674 km (1038 miles), just over the 1000 miles I was shooting for. I wanted to keep motivated for August so signed up for the distance challenge again. The difference is I will keep my electric assist level low so my legs do most of the work. I also signed up for the “Gran Fondo” challenge which is to ride more than 100 km in a day. I’ll take my first shot at that this weekend.
Below are the images I took on my group ride last Tuesday, which was a nice cruise up into the hills Southwest of Morgan Hill, stopping at the Gilroy Sports Complex, then heading home in the valley on Santa Teresa Boulevard.
