    I had a couple good rides, nothing epic, but good. Saturday I needed to sleep in, so I didn't go with DW and others to ride in the mountains of Malibu. Instead I did a nice solo 22 miler. Nice pace. Explored one of the canyon roads north of me for about 7 miles before turning around and rode on the bike paths.

    Sunday group ride - I led the 'B' group, which was the same as the A group until we got to one spot where we kinda took a shortcut to avoid two cat 4 climbs. Felt pretty good at times...it was encouraging. All in all 37 miles, about 2000'. So a pretty good weekend.

    Nice Mark and thanks for starting this today. I got lost in starting the LTL thread.

    Sunday was cold and if not monsoon-like at least steady rain from lighter to heavier so I got out for a challenging hill climb ride on Sat. something like 2500' of climbs in 25 miles with one section that bumps up to about 14% for a ways and steady 11% for between 1/2 to one mile. Used my cross bike which had squeaky noises, little pings either from spokes or the disc brakes. Only did that above 11% grade. Rode the same bike today on hill route up to 8% and none of that noise.

    Oh and on Sunday I rode through the "monsoon" to my WW meeting and back for 10 more soggy miles.

    Did not get on the bike this weekend for the first time since my vacation trip. Had a Scouting for Food drive (hand out bags to be picked up this weekend), Webelos-Scout campout as DS begins the transition to Scouts and then I had to mow the lawn and get my trailer ready for the food pick up next weekend.

    I am still commuting no matter what the weather. Bob maybe the noises were from the wet weather. My brakes make more noise in the rain.
