This past weekend I completed my first half-century ride, a grand 50 miles ride. We started out from Palo Alto and went through the Astradero Preserve, Portola, Woodside up to the entrance of Sawyer Camp Trail via Canada Road. We then rode back to Palo Alto, pretty much the same route. It was a great feeling to complete 50 miles. + it helped that it was a beautiful day.
This was also, the last ride in CAT-I series out of Palo Alto. My thanks to all the TRL: Jeanne, Russ, Kerwin, Lynn, Cindy and all the others (whose names elude me at this early hour).
I did a small 10 miles ride on 03/06, through the streets of Fremont. It has been a some time since I have ridden alone, so it was a little fun. I pushed for small distances and then took it easy.
And on 01/08: we did the, last but one, ride of the Palo Alto CAT-I series. A 47 miler with route similar to the 50 mile ride.
I can’t believe how far I have come in terms of distance + none of these rides are flat. As the series progressed, I am stopping less often and feeling less tired at the end of the ride.
[TOTAL MILES: 760.3]
