Last Tuesday we did a group ride in the hills East of Gilroy that started at the Mendoza ranch entrance to Harvey Bear park. I usually catch a ride up there from my friend\u2019s house, but lately due to SI joint issues I haven\u2019t been able to ride my upright on this long of a ride, and I was afraid my recumbent wouldn\u2019t fit in her vehicle. So I rode the recumbent from home to the start, making this a total of 90 km (56 miles) for me (and 3 batteries). It was a great ride, though. From the valley this time of year, it looks really dry in the east hills, and it\u2019s always amazing how pretty it is when you get up in them. On Wednesday I did one of my hard rides, 85 km in 3 hours 25 minutes, with a bit over two hours brisk tempo followed by some intervals and sprints. Thursday was a hard upper body session followed by an easy recovery ride, then Friday I went to a long brisk tempo ride of 3 Hours 20 minutes. Then yesterday was some easy arm-cycling and an easy recovery ride for a total of 70 minutes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12706\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2025\/06\/22\/lots-of-riding-this-week\/image-420\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-7.png\" data-orig-size=\"1043,739\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-7.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-7.png?w=1024\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-7.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12706\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Taking a break at the Dam at the end of Coyote Lake Road<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12709\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2025\/06\/22\/lots-of-riding-this-week\/image-422\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-9.png\" data-orig-size=\"1043,739\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-9.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-9.png?w=1024\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-9.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12709\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>The bridge where the public road ends on Gilroy Hot Springs road.
