After nearly 2 weeks in Northern California, it's time to go home. I feel that we have dramatically ramped up our preparation for RAAM, I've been riding, made new friends, and spread the word. On top of Mt Tamalpais I meet up with a journalist Alastair. He inquires why riders for RAAM would come to train in Marin County north of SFO. It's obvious - see the photo of Mt Tam. I've done Mt Tam and the Alpine Road 6 times whilst I've been here (110km, 1500m climbing, at 5-9%). Greast scenery, great climbing, great descents, (and good coffee in Fairfax!).
In the last 6 days, I've ridden 723km - solid effort, but still only 57% of my share of RAAM. I feel good. We will complete!
