nrohluap, Another ride in the books. Terrible average speed, as I kept stopping to photograph and identify plants along the way. Gobs of walkers doing the same, so I fit in more than I usually would.
Did manage to hit a peak heart rate a couple bpm higher than the “calculated max” for my age on the climb back up to the saddle 😊

View from the handlebars of the trail through the walls of mustard plants. Heavy stalks and large green leaves topped by small clusters of yellow flowers. The path is clearly not wide enough for handlebars.
Ah, open trail under some Live Oak trees. Some mustard is visible in the background but the trail itself is visible here.
Map of today’s ride in the park. Lots of hills and switchbacks. Heart rate is shown by color of the line. Surprisingly, the downhill switchbacks show elevated heart rate - they do take some effort to descend.
