Afternoon Ride

Moon Rise Over the Mazatzals
Moon Rise Over the Mazatzals

Easy road ride this afternoon – well, not that easy, maintained a steady tempo and Strava says I climbed 1600 feet. Without any cycling goals in sight for the rest of the year, I relish having permission to go easy, go short and just enjoy the ride.  Arrived home to see the moon rising over the Mazatzal mountains.

Brad and I are talking about signing up for the Panzer option of the Levi GranFondo next year.  We both qualified for the privilege of paying an extra fifty dollars, riding an extra 14 miles and 1600 feet for the ultimate Fondosperience.  In so many ways it makes no sense, which is why it makes perfect sense.
