Posted on November 26, 2007 by vidurgupta

ALC Rider#1489
Posted on August 5, 2007 by vidurgupta
Another reason to blog! This time planning to ride from SF to LA over a week in 2008. As my friends would quickly point out that right now I am in no shape to do so, so I have worked up a nice training plan (nice, no way its nice). I will keep all posted [...]
