5 of the 6 California Laos riders were blessed with a gorgeous sunny day for their last training ride. It was about 39 miles with nearly 3000' of climbing and took just under 7:30. Eureka Canyon Rd is my favorite road in Calif for riding - again, it was awesome. Rob couldn't join us as he was packing for an early departure on the same day. Somewhat crappy GPS coverage, but here is the <a href="http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/invitation/accept.mb?senderPk.pkValue=5263&unitSystemPkValue=1&episodePk.pkValue=409113">GPS/Elevation/Heart Rate</a> info for the ride. http://nhoover.smugmug.com/Unicycling/Coker-Rides/The-Last-Laos-Training-Ride/DSCN1706/52556010_Jn8fJ-Ti.jpg http://nhoover.smugmug.com/gallery/1128700_CNTFM/ 2006-01-15T12:14:11Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
