bici bella
rode Monte Bello (in Palo Alto, CA) with Brian over the weekend. awesome. he kicked my butt to the curb (well, no curbs, maybe to the trailside) and back again. if you look at the graph, you can see we had fun going downhill, then it was a giant climb for over an hour (ok, some drops, but not much). note the drops in heart rate in the middle of the climbs. thats when i wussed out and had to stop cause i was gonna puke. to be fair (to me), i think we were going pretty damn fast, i mean i held 170bpm for 1.5 hours. thats pretty rough. anyways, enough whining. it was a great time, i really enjoyed riding a real trail with someone who can really push me (i hope i pushed back a bit too).
andria and i were up there for Karen's (Brian's fiancee) bridal shower. andria hung with the girls and did whatever it is they do, and brian and i went and got dirty and tried to kill each other.. what guys do.
note: the above graph is missing about 10 minutes off the beginning. so there was more downhill than you see there. which was nice.
