Cycling the California Coast Public page for cycling progress down the California Coast. Four day ride of approximately 530 mile

3,673 miles for 2023 which is very low for me, but the year had its distractions. It was a cold last 15 miles of the year. Grand total of 47,133 miles since I started tracking around 2011. Odometer resets tomorrow.

Not my most aggressive descent, but after 200 miles, yknow...I'm tired. 25mm tires at 110 psi gives you about 2 square inches of contact area.

Some high grade road I forget the name of. Killer every time we do it. Andrew broke a cable so we are stopping for repairs. I pounded that hill like pizza dough.
