Luckily my regular business trips to California means I can get some serious training in despite it being the middle of winter. The current daytime temperature in the Bay area is between 18 and 22 degrees centigrade.
I arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon and immediately headed over to CyclePath bike rentals in San Mateo (http://www.cyclepathsm.com/rental.php).
I picked up a Leonard carbon racer and booked it out for 9 days and perused the awesome climbs of the surrounding hills.
Wednesday morning I was up before the crack of dawn, due to jet lag, and headed out. This is a golden opportunity to put in some mileage every day for a week and a half. On top of that there are some fantastic hill climbs all around the area.
On Thursday I tackled Ralston Avenue (Cat 4 climb) and an exhilarating descent down Crystal Springs Road - all before breakfast.
