Biking on Big Basin Way

Another 30 mile weekend - 3.5 miles running on Saturday and 27 miles bike covering Big Basin Way.

The beginning of the Big Basin Way is 4 miles from my home and then it's a 7 mile steep climb (starting at 300 ft and ascending to 2632 ft) to Skyline Blvd. I tried biking all the way up few times before but my body did not cooperated. Today, I decided and did it with couple of short breaks. The next goal is to bike all the way up without any break :)

PG&E - running all the way and 30 mile weekend

I first ran Rancho PG&E trail around 8 years ago and have run it multiple times every year since then. I start from the first parking lot (one with the Equestrian parking), go all the way up (running and walking) along the PG&E electricity poles and then always run downhill.

For the past few months I've been trying to run the entire trail (both uphill & downhill) and came close to it 3 weeks ago. Finally, I did it yesterday - took me 48 min 57 secs. I maintained a consistent pace through out the run and I think that helped a lot. I hope to improve the timings in the months to come.

Also last weekend was my first 30-mile weekend. Basically, it was a mix of 22 miles bike on Sunday and 9 miles run on Monday with a total > 30 miles. I hope to have at least one 30 mile weekend once a month.
