The San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Bike Paths

After a rest day I like to "warm up" my legs by doing an easy local ride on the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Bike Paths. These are not exciting. There's no climbing. There's usually debris and homeless encampments. There are usually other cyclist out on these paths in the mornings. However, it's easy to control my output, there are no stoplights, they are spirited paths, so I don't have to worry about motor vehicle traffic. 

They are mindless to the point that I kind of hate them. What's the point? I'm not hammering. I'm not chatting with anybody. I'm just "warming up the legs". In the end, they are safe and uneventful.

Local Steep Climbs

In addition to riding in the mountains, I also like riding up my local steep climbs. A few I really enjoy are: St. Katherine Chevy Chase Hampstead Greenbriar Haven Wildwood Canyon Stough Canyon Alta Canada Hampstead Sugarloaf These are all steep short climbs that I combine into a 20 to 60 mile ride with lots of elevation gain. In general, I prefer loops to out and back routes, so I will branch up from my loop to climb, and end up with a ride elevation profile like this (total of 6,319 feet of elevation gain in 55 miles):  I rolled from home at 6:30 am this morning, and air temps were in around 61 degrees. This is a little warm for climbing weather, but compared to the weeks of 90 degree afternoons we've been having, it felt great to do some close steep climbs that mix it up a bit from the long steady climbs in the local mountains. Additional benefits of rolling early is that there's shade and little motor vehicle traffic on the roads I traveled. There were dog walkers and a few

On Saturday I rode the "Circle of Dawson" route and added the Mt. Wilson climb at mile 90. I rolled at 5:30 am to beat the heat, and arrived back home at 2:00 pm. The highlight was running into a riding buddy along Foothill before 6:00 am, and chatting with him for about 30 minutes. He rode the same route (minus Mt. Wilson) but is a much faster climber than me.  He commented that I was sweating a lot as we chatted. I responded that I know. I tend to over hydrate the day before a long, hot ride, and I sweat a lot when it’s humid, even if I’m not excerpting a lot of effort. I was able to climb to the high point of the route, Dawson Saddle, by 10:00 am, where the air temps were under 80 until I started descending. The climbs to Red Box and Mt. Wilson were both above 90, and I had packed sufficient Gatorade and Cliff powder to both refill and drink a full, 24-ounce bottle at each water stop. I didn’t see any other cyclists until I refilled at Red Box, and the few I saw there look

Wednesday Velo

 Still riding the Wednesday Velo group ride. It’s been very high humidity today, which made for a sweaty ride, even going easy pace. I’ve been dialing back the number of intense rides per week to two, and Wednesday Velo is online of those.
