  • I was on my bike pretty much all day today. I left the house at 8:30 and rode for an hour up to the twin peaks viewing platform. It was a lot of climbing but it was a beautiful morning and the view was perfect:

    Then I went down to the Sports Basement to meet my AIDSLifecycle training ride. It was a short (22 mile) training ride and everybody did great. We went to Mill Valley which is not my favorite place to go because the coffee place always has a huge line and the locals view bikers with suspician-- like we're homeless or something I can't figure it out.

    These are my friends Ben and Shiv. Ben has been organizing the training rides I've been helping lead and Shiv and I have been pals since the ride last year when I helped reuinte her with a precious item she'd lost.

    I got home at 1:30 from that and, as promised, my partner Jeffery went for a little bike ride with me. We rode downtown to this fishing pier behind Pac Bell Park. It's very pretty there and it was just a gorgeous afternoon:

    Doesn't Jeff look cute?? All in all I think I rode about 40 miles today but there was some pretty significant climbing and I felt great the whole day. It's supposed to be beautiful all week. Can't wait!
