The first free weekend I've had in a month. It's time for a party!
My friends hold a yule-tide celebration every year down in Fremont. Never one to miss an opportunity to get a training ride in, I set my affairs up to ride down.
All in all, a good ride. A fantastic day for bicycling (there were a TON of riders out on the roads) and most of the route was familiar to me. The only downer to the ride was getting through Hayward. Busy, narrow streets with no shoulder or bike lane. I poked along on the sidewalk instead. Next time I'll choose a different way around.
I made it through the ride OK, but it's obvious that I've been off my bike for a month. My legs tried to cramp up and I ran out of breath while climbing a few of he hills. I'm looking forward to getting some training time in so I can feel confident about pushing myself through and entire course like this.
