Ride to beach

Had a great ride today....out to the Ocean Beach, the Sunset Cliffs, then to Fiesta Island, before swing back and coming up Bachman Place hill.....I can't believe how awesome it was to climb Bachman, relatively easlily.....the new bike helps...and all the hills I do too!   Feeling really strong!





A reminder about me doing the Aids/Lifecycle Ride 2014!  From San Francisco to LA, 545 miles to raise money for AIDS resources....here's my page link with more info.  
Please consider helping in the fundraising if you can!

I'm riding my bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles next summer!

I made a huge decision.  I've registered to do the Aids/Lifecycle Ride 2014.
The ride is from San Francisco to Los Angeles, the first week of June, next summer.

Here's a link to the site, and my personal page on the site.  
I'll be posting about the ride preparation, my biking and how it's changing, the fundraising, personal goals and hopes for the experience, over the next few months.



I've thought of doing it for almost ten years now after a very good friend did it.  But I didn't get really involved in my biking until four years ago, when I started commuting every day to work, back and forth.  Then I sold my car, and became car-free!  That was life-changing.....

Feel free to follow this blog and keep up to date with this!

Time to get back to blogging about stuff I love!

Time to start blogging again!  I was really enjoying it, then life just got busy.  And my biking just really took off....after I stopped regularly posting on here was when I got up to 5 days a week commuting pretty much every week.  Now I've been at a pretty steady pace of  4 days a week, plus a weekend ride for errands, or fun.

And the big news, a new bike is in the picture!  I'll post on my buying experience and the big reason I got it in a day or two.

But here's a pic of the new one.  LOVE IT.  Giant Defy 1, 2013.


Back in a  few days with some great personal bike news!
