Early Morning Ride up Mount Hamilton

Left the house at 6:00 AM this morning to climb Mount Hamilton ( the hills just east of San Jose, CA) up as far as Grant Ranch Park. It was just getting light out with no traffic so it was an excellent morning to ride. It was a bit cold out this morning with fog forming at the base of mountain. The goal was to make it to the Muddy Buddy adventure race. I arrived at 7:30, wow...1 hour and 30 minutes which is not bad for a big guy like me. Hopefully this puts me closer to getting in shape for the a Eastern Sierra backpacking trip at the end of June.
