Note: Very tiring ride. I'm just not in good enough shape yet to comfortably ride up to Lake Berryessa, let alone summit Cardiac Hill. Although I had to stop and rest one mile up CH, I made it to the top and I'm glad I met that goal. I was very tired riding back. I nearly fainted in Steady Eddy's, just before I bought my coffee and scone. Yet with an inordinate number of stops to rest and stretch my aching back, I made it all the way.
