First Bicycle Ride

Today, I took my first ride on my new bicycle. I went on Sand Hill Road, then Portola Road, and back home through Alpine Road. 17.8 miles of fun. My rear end is killing me, and somehow my right arm is very sore, but it’s a lot less painful than I would have expected it to be. Also, getting used to the locking pedals was fairly easy. I cannot wait for my next ride.

[...] Following yesterday’s ride, I decided to get back on the road as early as possible, and today’s weather was perfect for a late afternoon tour. I tried to extend my loop by taking Arastradero Road, but somehow missed the turn, hence went on Pagemill Road and Junipero Serra Boulevard. 28.3 of pure happiness. Next time, I need to take my GPS to log my track. [...]
