Tres amigos encounter

Quick bike hop with the hopes of burning the last bit of 'buchi' I had at the Newark Buffet on Sunday. What glee I brought to myself when I converged with the three amigos atop Palomares. Corkey, JunB and Ruel. These guys were fit and strong, that buchi helped me keep up with them as we looped through Sunol, Foothill and Niles. Talk about secret training before the Wednesday rides, these guys are serious ! On the hills, we all took it easy, no need for bravado, best to come home safe and sound.

*Construction alert*: coming from the Sunol side (steep) of Palomares and coming down the other side to Niles, there's a number of construction points with lots of loose gravel along the way. Descend with caution.

Diary of a wimpy rider

All roads lead to some Secret Training
As a short reprieve from my studies, I headed to Niles and meandered up Palomares on a beautiful sunny day, then headed back down after a nicely paced climb. As I maneuvered the last stretch of the downhill path, I exchanged greetings with a fellow cyclist who was headed up. Then I slowed down. I know this guy, and when I looked back, he also stopped in his tracks. He knew me, too! Who would've thought, but it was the great Anklai! I summarily turned my bike around, and rode up again Palomares - with the great Anklai.

All In a Day's Work
Just finished four major climbs including Quimby, Mt. Hamilton, Sierra, Calaveras, Welch(!), and now Palomares. I'm glad I caught him on his last mountain climb. He would've easily dropped me if this was his first. As it was, he wasn't at all exhausted, still some reserve in the tank, conversational on the steep sections, as I gasped and tried to keep up his 'slow' pace. So there you have it folks, secret training at its best, by the best as recorded by yours truly.
