Sunday was my CAT2 ride out to Alpine Dam. We left from McLaren Lodge to avoid all of the Doyle Drive drama. This is one of the toughest rides that we do on the CAT series and I thought everybody did really well. The Alpine Dam ride has a gratuitous amount of climbing and nobody that I saw had a total breakdown over it which was nice.
Here’s everybody at the beginning of the drop down into Alpine Dam Lake:

Beau wasn’t crazy about all the climbing heading up to Ridgecrest and blamed that on me. Evidence:

Beau wishing he’d been training harder in April:
We headed down to Mill Valley and had lunch at Cafe Del Soul which was delicious as usual. We’ll be eating there next week as well. Then we headed back to San Francisco and I went over to Miss Smith’s to enjoy is five star hospitality. Here he is reclining in his parlour:
Then I headed home for dinner and got ready for bed. I was very, very tired.
