Hilly Ride this time!

Rode 37 miles from Lake Merritt to Berkeley Claremont area then up old Tunnel Road to Skyline, down Pinehurst to Moraga to Orinda. Then back up to Tilden Park on Wildcat Road. Down Spruce which is beautifully paved. Made a lunch stop at Cactus Taqueria on College before heading back home.
This one tired me out! 3,040 feet of elevation gain in 3 hours and 20 minutes of riding.....whew! But the weather and the company was perfect!

Joined Oakland Yellow Jackets

Last Saturday, April 9th I rode 20 miles with the Oakland Yellow Jackets who are a really nice group of people. We rode to the Alameda Beach from Lake Merritt. At mile ten they had set up a rest stop and at the end they had set up a potluck lunch.
Can't wait for the next ride!

Completed Oakland 1/2 Marathon; Set Personal Record

2011 is off to a good start: I ran my fastest 1/2 Marathon (2 hours;17 minutes) in Oakland California! The run was great, the people cheering on from the sidelines were extra cool, as were the many bands playing music along the route.
Not to mention the champagne at the end! I had on my Team FARA running jersey and a few people I did not know cheered me on with Go Team FARA!
