What a fun ride!!! My computer showed 26.5 miles (I'm not going to mention my average speed!)

(Unfortuantely I didn't check the google directions myself before passing the link along to Lisa, so she had saw a little more of the Emeryville backroads than she wanted to on her way to the meeting spot! And while I was waiting for her I remembered what it was I forgot to bring - her cell phone number! But she made it!)

Lisa (Winddance) is a great riding buddy - we had a good time yakking (when we could hear each other over the wind - it was a *little* breezy in Emeryville, but very pleasant and calm in Richmond). And she has a beeee-u-tiful Orbea!

Man- that wind on the last stretch out to Point Emery was strong - at one point I was struggling to stay above 8 mph, and my heart rate was at 175! (and I was cursing a blue streak making my "nasty headwind" face)

But as always - that ride totally blows the cobwebs out - the views of the bay were gorgeous and I feel a million times better, physically and mentally.

WindDance - thanks so much for riding with me - lets do it again! Or... Old Tunnel Road!
