38 Emerald Necklace with Sandra

 38 miles, nearly 1000 ft of gain around the Emerald Necklace course with Sandra. Then a little more to the base of the Azusa mtts. I've been showing Sandra some of the cycling tactics I know. Plus working on ride etiquette, ride tactics and tips to help her cycling. Only problem is that she has a great ability to recover on the bike. Figure she does 75 miles solo on her bike rides. So giving her some tips, she's been learning and when she recovers, she starts killing me. 😫

Like today, she wasn't feeling well at the start of the ride but by the end of my ride, I said I was going to do a little more then she said, let's go! 😄 So she ended up leading me up to the the base of the Azusa mtts.

One of those people that you start explaining and showing them cycling tips and tricks, then they start using them and killing you. 😆😄😆....and to think she wasn't feeling good at the start of the ride. 😳

But honestly, us people in our mid 60s need to keep moving. Exercise is key I think so we're DOING IT! No excuses! 👍

Peck Rd heading North

Bad azz lady. Saw her zig zagging a bit on the Dam Climb. 1/3 mile topping out at 11%. I looked at her bike as we crossed paths and she was not using a motor. So doing this climb on a heavier MTB type bike, awesome!

Just a cool sky, and guy ha ha ha!

Rio Hondo at the Peck Rd Conservation Park area where the trail crosses from one side to the other. I don't think we'll cross here ha ha ha!

Above City of Hope 210 underpass.

Sandra looking like a pro here. Been working on her ride etiquette and ride skills.  Cycling position and awareness type stuff that will make her an excellent rider.

Buddha! On our last ride here, Sandra shouted BUDDHA. I barely got a glimpse of him that time so this time I stopped to get him on video. Near the Peck RD park.

Over the weekend, got lazy. So, a nice weekend with Gina.  Sunday at the Brea mall. That place is busy ha ha ha.  Plus lunch at the Steak Coral.  Hadn't been there in a while and was pretty good.  Croutons are the best, condiments bar for the baked potato 🥔 is good too. But I'd say Sizzler petite steak still has the edge.
