Colin and I rode for about two hours, going from our apartment to the beach and back (a total of about 12 miles). It wasn’t as difficult as I had expected, especially considering I did an hour of TRX last night. The worst part was definitely the beginning, when we climbed a hill for about three or four blocks. I’m not entirely sure the route we took, but I mapped out this approximation on Google Maps:

All in all, it was a good training day, and I don’t think it will be long before my rides lengthen considerably.

Today was Schuyler’s first time climbing some real hills, and he was a champ about it. We went through the park as planned, and made plenty of stops to take in the scenery. It ended up being closer to 13 miles, expect a Google map of the ride from Schuy soon. Not what I’d call a training ride, but hey, my legs are still tired! A few pics after the jump.

Biking! Hilarious! This is not where I'll train for the swimming portion. Buffalo! Hilarious! From the Cliff House—The view is worth the climb! Sutro Baths. This is right before I found out my water bottle still had dish soap in it. ]]> http://www.triaswemight.com/blog/2009/01/todays-ride/feed/ 0
