Last Saturday, we went on a renegade ALC training ride. Renegade because Russ didn’t have his TRL(training ride leader) training done & for the ride to be an official training ride you need at least 2 TRLs. A bit more on TRL later and now back to the ride. We started at the Union City bart station (we are a group of about 10 riders) and rode on the Alameda Creek Trail to the Coyote hills & back. We also did the Coyote hills loop & it offers, probably, the best view of the east bay. (20 miles)
Yesterday, I started from Fremont Bart instead of Union City station & did the Alameda Creek Trail (this time was on my own). I didn’t the Coyote Hill loop but the interesting thing was that while going towards the Bay & against the wind I was doing about 10 mph & on the way back (with the same wind behind me) about 17 mph. Respect the power of mother nature. (18.2 miles)
Today, I did a 6.1 mile ride around the streets on Fremont.
(TOTAL MILES: 187)
