THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA
DRAFT
Phil’s Cookie Gran Fondo.
Summary: Young woman named Natalie (831), asked me to pin on her bib just as everyone was leaving – with a police escort. She and I missed it leaving at 8:33 instead of 8:30.
On the climb up Mulholland Highway I had passed a lot of riders but was mindful of my goal – not to chase PRs. Enjoy the day, stop and take photos. Breathe salt air. And eat cookies.
