Early morning start. 40 degrees with medium Santa Ana winds (so gusts to 30 mph)
Getting ready to cross the Santa Susana Pass when I saw this train station. This isn't on the mainline when I'm on the Metro and looks like from another decade.
Luigi is my Colnago Master road bike. I've wanted one of these since high school and it rides great.
One flat with 5 goatheads. I only had one spare tube and not enough patches if I got another flat. Luckily I made it home without an issue
When I got to our driveway, my welcoming committee was there to greet me. Actually they just found a praying mantis and was watching it.
Total for the day.
Ride: 48.7 mi (78.5 km)
Total: 59.1 mi (95.3 km, 404.7 km left)

Rapha has come up with a great idea to get people out riding during the holidays. For me it is great incentive to put in the miles. I normally average 3 hours of exercise a week between family and work so this really works on my Type A personality. Reality will come back though when we start a road trip from Monday to Thursday. We'll be up in the mountains but there is no snow so there is a chance of getting some miles in. Of course, it will be a lot less since the hills will be tough. I'm not sure if I can fit it in since it is family time. With next weekend being my last cyclocross race, this training block may help (I hope).
