I signed up for the challenge to climb 7,000 m (23,000 ft) for the month of June Strava. The problem is that I only signed up on June 19th. I assumed I had already climbed a lot this month, but I forgot that I don’t climb much alone on the recumbent, so it turned out I only had 2600m under my belt, so I needed another 4400m in the last 11 days of the month. I’ve been looking since then and since yesterday I got another 2277 in, now I need 2076 more in 5 days. Note to self: next time, log in at the beginning of the month!
Last Thursday I drove to the northwest of Morgan Hill on a beautiful day.
On Saturday I meandered southwest on a foggy morning. It didn’t resolve until I was almost home.
On Tuesday, my group ride started from the Mendoza Ranch parking lot in Harvey Bear County Park. I love this drive on beautiful roads in the hills east of Gilroy. But I haven’t ridden the recumbent bike as far lately due to neck problems, and I don’t have a good way to transport my recumbent bike, so I just rode it to the start. I brought extra batteries just in case and needed all but one since the trip took me over four hours. The good news was that I climbed 723 meters.
