Dragon, Chris and I went over to China Camp for what’s usually mostly a fitness ride. But we went all the way up to the missile platforms, where Dragon won Best Biff (he’d already won First Blood) but also nailed a really gnarly chute (with spectators!)
We spent some time hanging out up top, chatting with mountain bikers, and talking about the brilliance of the @steak_umm Twitter account.
here are some thoughts on how we can come together amidst this pandemic and economic crisis, despite the challenges of misinformation, media inundation, partisanship, and cultural polarization. THREAD

Then for various reasons we all wound up taking different routes down. Dragon apparently found a solidly technical downhill, which is not something we’ve run into in China Camp before; definitely worth investigating in the future. I did an extra climb and descent on a super-steep fire road (hey CA State Parks: We can fix that for you).
It was a nice day and a good workout. The training series gets more serious from here, starting with Rockville this weekend.
