The weather has been improving and we decided gravel roads should be dry enough to try, So we scanned through the routes that began with G and decided to go around El Mont. There is a restaurant on the top that is open on Sundays, which makes for lots of traffic on the paved route up. We hoped that the gravel route on Saturday would be fine. The route started out as a bit of single track right behind the hotel! Fortunately it turned to regular gravel roads not too far into the ride. I was not ready for 66 km of single track.
The climbing, on the other hand, was relentless. I definitely earned any kudos I received on my strava upload.
A few years back, John and I decided that we should tour on single bikes versus the tandem. With the tandem, all the photos were of me holding the tandem, looking bored. With single bikes, we could get action shots of each other. But our speed differential is such that I was rarely sopping for pictures. Then I got the GoPro. So For most of these posts, John appears in the video and I feature in the photos!
