I had to do a 100km ride since I signed up for Strava's May Gran Fondo Challenge. I had to solve some problems about doing longer rides during the pandemic lockdown. This ride was 3 laps of a 33⅓K course. Since water fountains can't be trusted during the pandemic, this allows me to refill at home each lap. And it isn't likely to find any parks or businesses with open restrooms. So the stop at home each lap is the best solution to that. Tweets during the ride: #Cycling in Milpitas again this afternoon. https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264648393051172864 Now at Hidden Lake Park in Milpitas. They didn't hide it very well. Try again. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264654428927258624 Riding through Berryessa Community Center and Penitencia Creek Park in San Jose. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264667514589417472 I didn't see any moving BART trains along the line in Milpitas. (I went as far north as Dixon Landing Rd.) But two were parked at Berryessa when I rode through. No surprise the train testing took a break for the holiday weekend. #cycling #SVBART #SanJose #BayArea #transit https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264680781156212736 Back at Hidden Lake Park on my 2nd lap around Milpitas & Berryessa. 3 laps will make a metric century (100km/62.1mi). 28.7 miles so far. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264702176540033025 2nd pass through Berryessa/North San Jose BART station on this ride. As expected, the trains I saw are still parked where they were. But I noticed there's a 3rd train parked here on the other side of the station platform. #cycling #SVBART #SanJose #BayArea #transit https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264719843934081025 This 100km ride in 3 laps around Milpitas & Berryessa is a trick to solve some problems with long rides during #COVID19 #pandemic lockdown - I stop at home between laps to refill my water since I don't trust water fountains right now. And no parks have restrooms open. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264730741314777088 For the 3rd lap I'm putting my lights on. It will be after sunset when I get back. 41 miles down, 21 to go. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264731046399971328 3rd and final time through Hidden Lake Park today. 49 miles down, 13 to go. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264746721734586369 Final pass through Berryessa BART station on this ride. Mostly quiet for now - but testing will undoubtedly resume by Tuesday, and soon originate Daly City & Richmond trains here. Today's ride: 60 miles down, 2 to go. #cycling #SVBART #SanJose #BayArea #transit https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264762663600443392 Metric century (100km/62.1mi) ride completed. It was 3 laps around this somewhat convoluted 33⅓km course, from noon to 8:30pm with a lot of stops since it was a hot day. #cycling https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1264782738374057984
