Late afternoon solo ride, checking out some more beautiful Santa Barbara views and landscapes. There sure is a lot of $ here! Still feeling far from 100%.

Cold, rainy, and feeling sick but Haprs was going for a quick ride so we had to join. I think we may have seen Oprah's house.

Harps put together a tough route of 2,000' of descent, flat, and then climb again back to the car. Very cool terrain all around us and while it was a little chilly, this was ideal trail running weather. I might have walked some of the 7km / 2,000 climb back to the car but Harps would have questioned my manhood so there was no slacking. Getting back to the car, we came upon a few dudes at the dodgy gun range - brandishing a gloc, M16, and some other big weapon. Nothing like target practice in the rain I suppose.

Yin yoga session after yesterday's big climb.

Flew to Santa Barbara for some R&R / training with Harps and Amy. Our first ride was a killer. Harps, Logie, and I made an assault on Gibraltar - a stupid long climb that made me wish for another chainring on the front. It was quite a test for me. I finished off at the hillside yurt we rented for a few days - very cool spot.
