Road biking is pretty popular up here and one of the cool things that the city/county does is to close off La Canada Road every Sunday for bikers. Even though the road is paved, it would be a good way for us to get some good miles in. We decided to check it out.

We ended up going on a Saturday since Judy had a business trip to Colorado on Sunday. Even though the road was open to cars, it really wasn’t a problem because the shoulder is nice and big. We rode from our house to La Canada road and at the end of it all, logged around 24.5 miles. La Canada road itself is fairly flat, but we got plenty of climbing while getting there.

24.5 miles is a record for us - I don’t think we’ve ever ridden that much before. We were tired at the end, but not overly so. The worst part was that our butts were really sore! It’ll likely take a few more rides to get our butts conditioned properly.
