Last post about the training rides, I had mentioned about the Mountain View to Portola Valley. The ride was on 11/17/2007 and 26.7 miles in all. It was a fun ride (except when climbing the hills) but I was glad that I made back to starting point within the designated ride speed. The lessons learned was climb more hills.
I took advantage of the long Thanksgiving weekend and knocked up another 50 miles. On the thanksgiving day I went on 24.2 mile ride from home on to Coyote hills (yes, the good old Alameda Creek trail). I have some snaps for you think time.
To start with this the bike I am training on & plan to ride the Aids LifeCycle.
A couple of pictures of the bay from a rest spot on the Coyote Hills. This is an interesting spot as you can see the Dumbarton Bridge and The San Mateo-Hayward Bridge + the planes making their approach towards SFO, all from one place. It is quite beautiful on a clear morning.
The ride to cap of the long weekend was a 31.6 miler, starting from the Union City bart station, across the Dumbarton Bridge in to Menlo Park and back to the bart station. I decided to ride on home from there instead of taking the bart. Plus I should mention the lunch at Mexico Tortilla Factory & Delicatessen in Newark. One of the best Burritos I ever had 
It was small, fun group for the training ride.
