Bulldog + Guadalasca + Backbone - one hot long day

Yesterday, Derek and I headed to Malibu to climb Bulldog.   It was fun and cool in the morning and a blast through the rock garden.   What a climb -Bulldog.  The last mile was very HOT.  My jersey was drenched! Thanks to bibs, I hung it out to dry.  We decided to drive to Sycamore and see if I could climb Backbone and Guadalasca.   I really did not think I could do all three of these climbs in one day.  The day ended up  about 28 plus miles and close to 4300 feet of climbing in total on a hot day.  The trails were perfect at Sycamore Canyon - no people - no snakes - just fun climbing!  Thanks, Derek for pushing me.  I never thought I would be able to climb Bulldog, let alone, followed with two more climbs in the same day -
Every night and every morning I thank God for my life, my family and friends. Don't give up, ever!  Keep moving, stay focused and stay study - Remember, it's easier than cancer.

It was an awesome day yesterday and my legs are so tired today.  
So far I have suggestions for a handle of Thunderbird, The Phoenix and Tuffy -
So give me some help on deciding - let's see who reads these boring blogs to the end? Peace - Cheryl
