A nice ride with (virtually) no hills
Today’s ride was the route I made up last May. The intention was to come up with a route with as few hills as possible.
We started out from Victory Park in Pasadena and headed east. The route goes all the way out to Glendora, and then makes a loop back through Covina to Irwindale. This includes a couple of nice roads that are just slightly downhill. Just enough that we can feel strong and ride fast.
Of course, I got the obligatory picture of Susan with a packet of Gu.
Our snack stop was at Planet Cookies in Monrovia. Then we headed home through Sierra Madre. This involved a little bit of uphill riding, but it was still a pretty flat ride. Our average was about 16mph, and we were home by 11:00.
43 miles.
