Forestville-Laguna Rd-Santa Rosa loop.

1631.1; 33.0

Just tracking miles on this bike now, since it's pretty much the only one I ride anymore unless it rains. New goals for the 2009 "biking season": keep riding; get to 2000, maybe a bigger round number; do one or more "centuries."

Last two rides, I've gone for bigger miles off the "end" of the West County Trail in Forestville, continuing down to the river (and make no mistake--that's a drop from what seems more or less a plateau, about 200 feet in about two miles.

Took Laguna Rd. back up and out this time, and it's much easier than Vine Hill Rd., doable for me without stopping or even going down to the smallest ring in front. Also, three 30mph+ downhills on this part. Unseasonably warm weather again today, allegedly 86 F right now (about 1pm). Glad I got out early.
