I had a great ride today!

I *finally* feel like I might be getting into a grove here! I covered ten miles today ...hardly a ride for many, but it felt huge to me! I rode out to Ocean Beach and back to the beginning of Golden Gate Park. The accomplishement here is the riding back part...I chose to take a street with quite a few hills and then cut into the park. My quads hurt, but I feel good! When I first got on the bus to come home (love those bike racks on busses!), I felt tired, but like I could have ridden more if I wanted to ...a good thing I think!

I replaced the saddle on the Marin Larkspur and it's perfect.

I can do this!

That's terrific! SF's hills are NOT easy. Keep it up!

Way to go! Choosing to do the harder thing is an achievement in itself!

San Francisco hills are nothing to sneeze at. I'm so challenged by the one little hill I have to deal with on my regular route, that I'm definitely impressed...I don't know that I would have the courage to bike in SF!

Congratulations! Ah, a ride that includes the ocean and the scent of eucalyptus groves! Thanks for sharing your accomplishment! :D

Hooray, shadon! It's an adventure picturing where you live and ride! We are all so different, yet all have that huge fluttering heartbeat when we bring out the bike (off the bus bike rack - wow!) and accelerate from 0 to 15 in a flash.

Absolutely you ARE doing it! :D :D Way to go!
