We completed the 103 mile bike ride! It was much harder than I expected, but that was because we spent around 7 hours on a bike seat and the headwind really sucked. My number one complaint about this race was the condition of the roads. It was the bumpiest most uncomfortable surface to drag yourself over for 100 miles. Upside was that it was pretty scenic, it was just along the top of a levee along the Sacramento river… although that does get old too after about hour four.

I used to race back in college when I was 19 and 20, but at a very low level and I was never serious enough about it to commit real time and energy to train for races. Now that I’m getting back into biking I actually train for rides and I am enjoying riding for completely different reasons. If you were wondering, I still don’t take myself seriously at all, but I do love getting to ride fast with my friends, I love exploring the Bay Area on my bike and I love that cold post-ride beer. Yeah, okay so beer probably isn’t the best recovery drink it turns out.
