Sunday, while Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador et al were having a lazy day cruising around the Champs-Élysées Joe King and I were out on a real ride. We went out and did a loop over the “soft” side of Cantelow, which still really hurts. We met three or four guys from the Davis Bike Club up on top. They commented that the problem with Cantelow is that it is so short you just want to do it again and again, this was there 4th time that morning. (I personally don’t find that Cantelow has that effect on me) We then swung down to Vacaville, over to Dixon and back home to Davis. About 65 miles in all. I can tell Joe is in better shape than me this year with all his century ridding, guess I better pick up the pace.
