Today my neighbor who is a big time mountain bike man invited me out for a ride up Kennedy mountain. Now, if you know Kennedy you know that it is a relentless and grueling 4 mile climb with the steepest parts the last section, real lung busters. We rode from our home through Los gatos up Kennedy road to the trailhead, then we climbed and climbed and climbed up to one of the highest peaks in the south bay (what beautiful views). From there it is a steep and fast fireroad downhill with some lose rock and sharp turns and then a climb up a two short but steep sections (one the road along the lexington reservior and then the backside of St josephs Hill (aka Jones Road trail) and home.
2.5 hours, 13 miles and a whole heck of a lot of climbing. Thank goodness I have a strong will because my legs were dust. I am super stoked and this was a great day for mental training and focus and physical training especially managing energy and buffering lactic acid.
WOW that is a heck of a trail.
