A Ghostly Sub 19: 1) Monday 02/01/10
25 mi w/B
Rode the MWF GRR Route
It was 44~41 degrees out, and the road was dark, and wet
 A little snow off to the sides of the road at the high point
Rode the ride out, without extra light, needed light for the ride back, no moon
Ride out was cold.
For this kind of ride temp wear a base layer,
arm warmers, ls jersey, & ss jersey
shorts, tights, toe warmers
and be tougher than NAILS (the downhills are cold)
but the ride back up was just right

While climbing Reward on the way back
I kept thinking about the thousands of times I have climbed this hill
And thought "All and All Your Just Another Brick In The Wall"

A Ghostly Sub 19: 6) Wednesday 02/17/10
32 mi - 1hr light /1hr dark
Vons/Clmnt ~ GMR/Newmans Point ~ Vons/Clmnt
Rode from Vons in Claremont to GMR till it got dark at Newmans Point on GMR.
Turned around and rode back.
Tried to slip on the GMR road unnoticed,
but got stopped and was asked to show my GMR entry Visa...
Didn't have one so I said the magic word gleep and my captors let me through.
It was nice seeing you, Annett and Matt.
It was a beautiful evening, good climbing temp,
and the views of the city lights from GMR were a treat.
