A New Training Season begins
On Saturday I headed out with Jon, Shelly and Mike for a beautiful ride, on a warm sunny day, through the city and out to Tiburon. I just upgraded my bike computer to a Garmin Edge 305 and I can now geek out creating great reports of my upcoming rides, in preparation for next year's ALC. Here goes:
It was a great ride over the bridge and out to Tiburon. Riding with Mike, Shelly and Jon recreated a lot of the spirit of the last day of the Ride. On top of that, we biked through the walkers particpating in the Breast Cancer Walk. It wasn't long before we were speeding along side the marching walkers, cheering them on, whistling and yelling "Go Walkers!". It was quite an interesting emotion. It was easy to recognize in some of the participants reactions my own, just a few weeks back, wheen cheered on and handed a smile by a passing stranger or an onlooking crowd. I remember how it felt then, and it made the experience of passing on some of that emotion, even more fulfilling.
Nice job walkers....
On our way back we stopped for a bite in Tiburon. Weekend rides are always so crowded: it took us almost half an hour to get our food but the hunger made it all worth it. On our way back we stopped at a wonderful ride appreciation party in the hilliest part of the city. Check it out on the elevation profile for yourself. But that again was all worth it. Thanks to Joe and wife for the great food and awesome ALC video.
So now the training season is officially open.
