Oakland -> Diablo -> Oakland -> Grave

I made it. One heck of an epic ride resulting in slight mental insanity and some insanely good tan lines. I rode starting a hair past 11 until a hair before 6 at which point I ate half of a loaf of bread and the remainder of my roommates Americone Dream ice cream. Mt. Diablo might be the hardest sequential climb I have ever done. Race repeaters are equally as hard but you have the flats, downhill etc. to break it up. Mt. D is straight epic with a cruel finish. The last 100 feet gets me out of the saddle and weaving across the road. I was even cheered on. There were a few bikers at the top. Dude bros no less. Then I ripped up the descent passing no less than 3 vehicles.

I took some mad pix and will update with at least 1 if it's worth it.

I've been failing to keep this mother updated more than a 1 liner. Let me tell you what sup. I went skiing in Tahoe, road the rode a lot, started RUNNING, watched Mavericks at the Giants stadium, and ate a piece of steak.

Tahoe:
Pretty flipping stellar. I was going for the weekend with no real solid plans and I happen to run into my cousin + BF and they invited me to stay at their lake side cabin equipped with hot tub. Yes. I'll join. Also out there I saw 2 Sheila Moonies. My ADSIII that took me there was thoroughly impressed.

Riding:
My ADSIII also fixed my lights! Finally, I can make the trek from Walnuts to Oakland on a regular b and get sick effing fit. I rode home Monday in the rain and Wednesday in the nice weather.

Running:
Thas right! Cycling gets you in pretty good shape for running! I started running this year with a 2 mile run, then I upped to a 4.3 mile run and last guy was 4.5. I'll prolly do a marathon by fri/sat/sun this week.

Mavericks:
The surf competition with the biggest purse named after a water loving German Shepard held down in Half Moon Bay. We watched on the big screen at the Giants stadium for a while and trekked around SF hitting up Chrome where I'm scoring a mega deal on a new more bigger bag. Yessssss.

There are some Tahoe pix but not on my camera so I have to wait. Oh yeah! Kelley fixed my camera! I have to charge that mother up and clean off the lens and there will be some exciting squares to replace the white font/black background.

Effff

Kings Point 2

I travelled to Point Reyes again, this time by bicycle. It wasn't too long of a haul but the hills and wind can add some BPMs to your HR.

Some pix along the way:




Next up? Port Costa, maybe another hostel, or maybe some hot springs....we'll see.
