Baja Tom

Tom visited Hank down in Baja. The two of them riding a tandem.

Hard to believe it is almost a year since we all got together for our little trek across America.


The weather has been nice and with more sunlight in the day I continue to ride to work a few days a week.

Today's ride was 84 miles, with the total elevation climbed at 4,800 feet. There was 1 continuous 4 mile climb which was challenging, but it was easier than last week. Maybe it had something to do with putting air in my tires. I was riding on 60 PSI on my front tire and 30 on my back tire. It was like riding on two flats and probably not good for the wheels.

  1. Crazy climbing there! In two weeks, we are planning a 6000 foot climb over 97 miles. Yikes! But good training for the trip. I will miss not riding with you this year.

  2. If I remember the data from the website 4800 feet of climbing is about what you will be doing on the Death Ride in July, yes? I envy you the Calif mtns - I can find my share of climbs but a continuous 4 mile climb is rare in NJ. On the other hand maybe that is not a bad thing.

  3. Whoops - I meant to say 4800 feet is what you will be doing in the first half hour of the Death Ride.....
