I climbed Palomares again yesterday. Unfortunately I took some 8 hour Tylenol before leaving because I had a headache. And then when I got to Niles the cafe I usually stop in for breakfast was closed for some reason.
The climb up Palomares was not good. All of the houses and two wineries are closed and for sale. Anyone with money is getting the hell out of California. Even the SOB's that supported the stupidity of endless taxation and gas twice the cost of gas everywhere else in the nation do not themselves want to live under such conditions.
I had to stop twice t0o let my heart rate come down and it didn't. So I have to go to the top with a heart rate near max.

So I rode the brakes all of the way down. When I got home the Garmin displayed 35 mph top speed and to tell you the truth, I'm surprised that it was that fast. Making it over a small bump in town was so difficult I was in low gear.
