Lots a climbing - the tank is empty

Todays Ride route.

This is the route I followed. My Garmin and I had words cuz' it didn't do what I wanted. Anyway a very very tough day riding by myself. At first I though that I was awfully tired for only 6700 ft. of climbing. Later the Motion based system then estimated 11K of climbing.
Not enough fuel in the tank. Numerous stops to cool down and for food and water. Lots of sun and wind along the coast and through the canyons.
Three serious climbs 6 to 12 percent. A couple steady 3 mile 10 percent curvy descents. The low point was me flipping off an elderly woman; (I wont go into that.)
High point was ocean views and nearly empty back roads Mulholland Latigo Canyon and Piuma with cool breezes.

Here is the motion based data Todays Ride stats; 88 miles.

5 miles at full throttle 21:19 Mandeville unofficial time, (See Lap 2) Next interval was egg beater style to build spin but turned back early cuz of Jeffery was finished. Then home in LA rush hour traffic. Good company with Jeffery BH to BH.

Intervals on Mandiville Canyon Road

Todays Ride stats; 42 miles.

20 ish at near race pace, then home in LA rush hour traffic. High point was the sunrise as we went around the Brentwood Country Club and golf course; the sun came up and was a giant orange orb at the skyline. Nice visual memory.
