Race: Cable Car Chase 2005
Finished the ANA Cable Car Chase this Sunday morning. Highlights: We didn’t get to really chase the cable cars, just chase a looked alike on rubber wheels. The biggest 10-12 block hill I’ve ever experienced on California from Drumm to Larkin, almost everyone near my pace level were walking the hills, it was a sad…
