Beat The Heat To Hellyer Velodrome and Back

Uncategorized

Yesterday was forecast to get to 100 F (37.8 C) so I got on the road early at 7:30 for a longer ride. I rode out to the Hellyer Velodrome and back in delightful cool temperatures. By then it was warming up a bit as I finished up with some cruising in San Martin. By the time I got home at 11:00, it was still only 82 F (27.8 C). This was a nice morning workout. The trail was pretty busy, I think a lot of people had the same idea of getting it done before the heat.

The fog just breaking up over the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Getting ready for Saturday beginner class at the velodrome. I’ll have to try it sometime. They throw in a track bike rental for a reasonable rate.
