So, after a tough coached run on Wednesday night (in which the coaches tricked us into doing 100 pushups), Josh and I went for a bike ride on Thursday morning. We drove and parked in a parking lot where Skyline Blvd meets Highway 92. I had been there before for a motorcycle ride and remembered the terrain as gradual rolling hills. Unfortunately for us, it turned out to be a 5 mile ride uphill - thankfully it wasn't too steep. I have to say that the 5 mile ride back to the car was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my adult life. All downhill, averaging almost 30 miles per hour Josh and I raced down Skyline Blvd revealing amazing views of the Peninsula at every turn. Despite the fact that we only covered 10 miles, we ended up doing the "pro" workout due to the mountain that we were climbing. Pretty good for Josh's first time out on his new bike!
