Miles and miles

Forgot to update my weekly miles, so here are my miles for the last 2 weeks.

Commuting: 60 miles
Training: 146 miles 
Total: 206 miles

On Saturday, I did the "Day on the ride" for my Aids Life Cycle ride in June. It was supposed to simulate a day on the "ride." As many of you know, I will be riding from SF to LA during the first week of June from June 1st to 7th for a total of 545 miles.

The "Day on the ride" was a total of 81 miles. It was pretty grueling considering the number of hills we had to go over. But riding over the Golden Gate Bridge was nice. I left San Jose at 6am and arrived in SF around 7am. We checked in and listened to the safety speech and headed out at around 8am. There were about 600 riders there on Saturday. The ride took from 8am to 5pm... a whooping 9 hours. It was a good experience, and it really gave me a better perspective of how the 7-day ride will pan out.

Pictures coming soon.

Sweet Randomness

Today, I got a chance to walk around and take some pictures of SJSU and downtown. Also went to the sharks game, but pictures of that later.

Earth Day pictures

April 22nd was Earth Day and there were festivities at City Hall. I decided to participate in the Mayor Bike ride. I thought more people would show up for the ride but the crowd mainly consisted of firefighters from the San Jose Fire Department. There were different tents and stands either advocating for green living or providing solutions for people to transition to green living. I'm glad to see there is more attention and awareness about green living. We're making some progress, slowly.

My first 100k! and more

I completed my first 100k or Tierra Bella on Saturday and I have to say I'm feeling pretty good and confident about the Aids Life Cycle ride I'll be doing during the first week of June. Aside from this being my first 100k, it was also my first organized ride. I have to say, organized rides are more fun and motivating than riding by myself all the time. There were about a thousand riders out on the paths on Saturday. Next week I'll be doing an 81 miler, so we'll see how my legs are then. Some pictures:
