After yesterday’s freezefest, the choice was easy; go down the hill. Today was the first day that Connor was able to meet up with the guys for some training. Previously he’d been engaged in his senior year of high school cross country, but with a final effort at the state champs held at Mt. SAC this previous weekend, he’s ready to turn the cranks once again. Ryon noted that it was impressive to see Connor stay with him on the first climb, considering he hasn’t been riding since the summer, just pounding the legs in cross country.
Again it was a cold day by our standards, with temps below 40 atop the Oak Glen climb. Ryon took one for the team after the first loop and hopped in the team van to ride support with clothes and a ride down after the final ascent. I was a bit bummed to hear this as he had awesome legs today and next week is a recovery week. If he hadn’t driven support, none of the three guys would likely have done a second loop though, so big thanks to Ryon.
