Henry Coe Again

September 11, 2008 10:14 am

After trying to climb Henry Coe three days ago following the monster ride the day before, I wanted to see how well I could do today.  I was not really fresh since we had set a new best time up Metcalf yesterday on the tandem.  But I was not as fatigued as I was on Sunday.

I was chasing Doug R. all the way up.  He can easily drop me on the hill and that is what he did today.  Still I was happy with my time of 41:19, less than 4 minutes off my race time last year when my average heart rate was 168 all 6.7 miles.  Also today we had ridden hard all the way from the bottom, including Thomas Grade so I was not rested at the start of the measured climb.  After the ride Doug told me he was planning to do the Everest Challenge also.  I said he could ride up with Eric and I and would be great to have a third person.  Maybe Doug can place in our age group since I am sure I can’t.
