Tour de Poway Update
I rode the Metric Century of The Tour de Poway last sunday. I was looking for redemption since last time I rode this ride it kicked my ass. Well, it kicked my ass again… This ride is certainly one of the most challenging rides that I’ve ridden. It made the Amtrak century feel easy. With over 3 thousand feet of elevation change, its a ride for those who love to climb. Here are a few pics of the ride:

We even got to ride on the freeway!
This is the final hill, were my legs felt like Jell-o
Here is the elevation profile saved by my GPS.

This ride is very scenic, the downhills are great, we got our butt kicked, but we still had fun.
