Riding Journal, June 12th

Down to the liquor store for lottery tickets.

Distance: 1.792 miles
Maximum Speed: 15.5 mph
Average Speed: 11.1 mph
Time: 9 minutes, 43 seconds

Interestingly, there was a bike race/event down at Almaden Lake Park that was breaking up as I rode home. Severe bike envy there. I saw some $900 trail racers being pushed around. It was kind of annoying that so many people were pushing their bikes along the margin where I was trying to ride.. that forced me into a traffic lane a few times.

A nice day for a ride. But I realized something; my bike isn't very good for trail work and good road training. I love it for errands and the like, but a mountain bike would be best for the other things. Now that the whole length of the Guadalupe River Trail is open, I'd like to be able to ride it for my workouts.

This will be much easier if we win the lottery tonight. :)

675!

Welcome to Baltimore, Mr. Bonds... 360 feet or so..

And he has become the first player in ML history to homer off *400* different pitchers.
