Need more training…
Published July 29th, 2003 in UncategorizedThis past Sunday I ventured over to Berkeley to take in a bike ride with a good friend of mine. Ben exclaimed it would be a relatively easy 25 mile loop. Well it may have been for him, but I hit the wall around the 22nd mile and was unable to climb the last 3 miles to the car. It’s a good thing Ben is in much better shape than I am. He made it up that last hill and back with the WRX in no time. I’m not sure if it was the climbing or him exercising the engine on way back down the hill. Either way my ass was lagging!
With that said, I had a great time. How could one not have fun when you catch 41 mph on a couple of the down hill stretches? I’ve got the itch to ride. But, I don’t want to keep Ben waiting for me on every climb of the ride. So today I’m going to map out a decent 20-30 mile loop down near work in San Mateo. And try to ride it twice a week.
