Bikin The Coast

In 2 1/2 weeks I’m doing my first triathlon.
I’ve been exercising, but not nearly as much as I wanted.
Tonight Rachel was picking up a friend in Sacramento.  My band all had work so practice was canceled.
So I went on a bike ride with Ryan and Ryan tonight.

2 1/2 hours.
Approximately 25 miles.
I couldn’t remember where we went half the ride, but here’s the best mapping I could figure out.

First we weaved our way through side streets up to the top of West Cliff.
Then we followed the coast all the way down to Aptos.
Tried to find an easier way out and hit some dead ends.
Made the climb up from the beach and followed Soquel back home.

My legs are dying.  It’s that weird feeling that you can’t really explain when you’re walking around.  Like your legs are moving, but you don’t really feel em.  But I guess that’s a good thing.  They’re gonna hate me in the morning.
That’s about the distance I’ll have to ride in the September triathlon.
I’m the one doing the triathlon and both of those guys pretty much kicked my butt.  I was in the back the whole time.
I’ve got some work to do the next couple of weeks.
And even more over the next couple months.
At least the Ragamuffin Top updates should get better!
