The view of the lake at Yucaipa regional park from the single track coming off the east side of Crafton hills college
Hot and smoggy afternoon on Crafton hills college ride
Shrek was all smiles in the beginning of the ride heading up Crafton hills collegeTuesday after work I did a road ride from home out Ynez to butterfield stage rd and around to east side of bike path up thru the neighborhoods around the airport and back, this is a good loop because it has some good climbs and the flat area can have a pretty good head wind. about 30 miles in 1:45.
Wednesday did another upper body and core workout with Amnada I usually feel these the next morning after I get up from bed.
Thursday after work Shrek met me in Yucaipa and we did the Crafton hills college ride it was hot and smoggy, Shrek has not been doing to much riding lately and maybe to much beer drinking, he was hurting pretty good on the climb up the fire road heart rates in the upper 170 the hole way.Got in about 12 miles in 1:30. They have finished the last section of trail along the houses on the way back since the last time I road there, that helps because there is less time on the busy roadway.After the ride we went over to Farmer boys for a bbq chicken rap.
Friday got up was actually a little tired from Thurs mtb ride ended up doing a easy 1:15 spin on the road bike didn't get up early enough got out on the road before 10 a m but it was already hot outside.
Saturday made it out for the ca pools drag race ride out to Hemet and back, felt pretty good stayed with lead pack until just past warren rd this time a little better than the last couples of weeks, did a few pulls as well, I turned around at the lake again and worked well with a small group on the way back to bike shop. My goal for the day was to get in approx 3 hours so I kept riding ended up going up bike path and headed home finished with 3:15 min of saddle time and 62 miles.
Sunday morning slept in and took it easy all day Amanda and I did some shopping at the mall and we picked up some needed thing for upcoming trip to Florida and the Bahamas. Later that evening we did 1 hour strength building workout.
One more hard week ahead before vacation overall I'm feeling pretty good and Amanda has been doing really well sticking to the training plan she has been doing her 1/2 marathon is Oct 11 in Long Beach.
