Well that didn't go as planned 🙃 I was looking forward to this ride, Devil Mountain Double Century, although not the original course due to road closures  and not the original starting location, San Ramon, it looked to be a fun course.

Last night I felt a little something I thought might be allergies, and I felt pretty normal this morning but I had some flem. I started at 6 am with four other guys. I was taking it easy and everything seemed normal for heartrate and power. 

At about mile 70 on Calaveras I noticed my legs were starting to hurt and they shouldn't be feeling this bad. I was riding with Gary Swanson and right before the Sunol rest stop I told him that I was suffering from allergies or getting sick, he said he would pull me to Diablo and I was thankful for the ride. 

There was a water stop at the bottom and I told him to have a great ride. I ended up crawling Diablo and saw some friends on the way up.

I was shooting for 14 hours and hoping to have the fastest time of the day. So I had no front lights. At the top of Diablo, I had lunch and headed down to the Junction where I made the hard decision to go down the Southside instead of the North side. 

This would have been #34 California Triple Crown Double Century, I don't think I have ever not finished one. 

Oh well it was a great day of riding with nice weather and cool people to ride with.

Thanks to Dzung and his club XDV for putting on the event and all of the great volunteers 👊🌋🍻
