First of May

Left the house early today wanting to get to Coyote Point before the Boardsports School got to busy so that I could spend a few Minutes talking to Rebecka. I had forgotten that she was running a special event at the Alameda site today. So instead I chatted with Jane in between her phone calls. She is one very busy lady. Well she should be she owns the School and manages all three locations.

Nice Day For A Bicycle Ride

Although it was a bit on the windy side and I had a head wind on the trip north, I rode from Redwood City to Burlingame via roads that parallel the Cal train tracks then back along the bay trail.  Round trip was just over 42 miles and took just under 5 hours for an average speed of 9 MPH.  I was hoping that the snack bar at Coyote Point would be open so that I could say hi to Ann Marie, Rebecka and Jane.  They where closed even though Jane had said they might start opening Thursday to Sunday this week. Well maybe tomorrow.

Busy Day

Had a busy day on Monday. Dad's Jeep was making strange noises from it's rear end. Not farting noises but grinding noises. So we had it toed to Rear End Specialists in Santa Clara. They where recommended by our mechanic as being fairly priced, fast and reliable. They where fast, we where there at about 9 in the morning and they had it repaired by noon. The price was about half what we expected. Hope the repair lasts for a few years. I was back at my apartment by 14:00 so I took a shorter than normal bike ride. Going 20 miles in a waist of time, so the 30 mile ride was just about worth it. Today it rained so there was no point in riding anywhere. Not that I would have worried about getting wet, it is just that people in cars tend to drive really badly when the roads are wet. If there is no rain tomorrow I will try to ride. Only three days left this month to reach a total of 700 miles for the month. It can be done if I can get in about 90 miles by Friday.

A Really Nice Day

When I got up this morning it was a really nice day, so I took a bike ride along the San Francisco Bay. Twenty miles into the ride it became a fantastic day. I stopped and the Coyote Point Snack Bar and Wind Surfing Shop for a cup of coffee and to my amazement Rebecka was there. I had not expected to see her until sometime in May because she had been working at the shop in Alameda. I would have been pleased to see Jane and Ann Marie but now I was ecstatic. I asked Rebecka if I might take a picture of her, she said is that so you will remember me? Rebecka if you read this blog know that I could never forget you, your smile and laugh they make my day. People if you want to learn to wind surf, get your wind surfing supplies, get something to eat or just chat with some really nice people. Then take yourselves to the beach at Coyote Point and follow the signs to the snack bar and make sure to tell my friends who work there hello for me.

20 to 40 MPH Wind Today

Although there was very little rain today the wind was just to strong to go on a long bicycle ride.  So I spent an hour and a half working out and then continued my research in to weight loss and muscle building supplements. I will continue my research and testing as soon as I can get out for a long ride.

Rain and Wind Today -- So some research

I spent time on line looking a supplement that would extend how far I can ride before my leg muscles give out and also something that will speed up recovery after a 40 to 50 mile bicycle ride.  Found several coupons on line for free samples I will report on the results as soon as I have some.  I have been taking daily rides when weather allows from Woodside Road and Alameda Road in Redwood City to the San Francisco International Airport and back.  The ride averages about 46 miles round trip.  On days when the weather does not allow for a safe ride I try to walk 5 to 10 miles.
I will attempt in the next few days to get photos from around the San Francisco Airport.

Had A Nice Ride Today

Weather was just right to get in another 46 mile bicycle ride. I have traveled over 500 miles in just 13 days, riding about 5 hours a day. Found out that Rebecka is working in Alameda at the other snack bar for the rest of the month. She will be at Coyote Point Park all of May, July, and September. Hope she remembers me as I sure remember her.
