Shock block continues. This week was all about blasting my legs on long climbs, and then try to use those stressed out muscle groups on the long flat ride on the weekend. I set personal best records on the Glenoaks climb this week, but I threw in a Lida climb on Friday because that's the day Glenoaks has trash pickup. The goal for the flat ride was to feel the pain of the crosswinds on the Santa Fe Dam, because it feels like you're climbing, even if it's pancake flat. I had a nice conversation with a cycling fitness trainer who joined me in Pasadena all the way to the dam, and we compared good routes, how her work with teenagers has to account for growing bones, and our annoyance with "nice" drivers who wave us through Stop Signs. I'm not the only one who hates that. Heh.
