Mt Tam in the distance

Aaahh, heaven: A good burn going from riding up Mount Tamalpais (QuickTime users can see a panorama from the east summit) via 5 Corners to the Eldridge grade, back down Rocky Ridge, then across by the lakes to take the other part of Eldridge down to Phoenix Lake and back through Ross for an iced mocha in San Anselmo Coffee Roasters. Probably not much more than 20 miles total, but from Fairfax I got at least 2300 feet of vertical on dirt, and the descent (and occasional climb) of the loose rocks and gravel on Rocky Ridge puts it firmly into the "Advanced" category in the Marin Mountain Bike Guide. Now maybe I can tolerate finishing up those installer issues I was frustrated with yesterday. Damn, I need to work on some tools to link all my writing that richly.
