I had to take some time off from training last week and this weekend due to a stomach bug, and for the first time in my life I was rather upset that I couldn't train. I wish I could say that it is because I love cycling and exercise and activity so much that I can't live without it, but the truth is I feel like I NEED every training day I can get to cross the finish line in Tahoe!
Thankfully I'm feeling fine now and I have a week full of activities to prepare for this weekend's long ride in Half Moon Bay. I'm still working on my flexibility with yoga and prepping for Tahoe's hills with hill repeats in Woodside. I learned last week that I'm a very slow hill climber, but I do make to the top eventually! Practice makes perfect.
I sometimes forget how lucky we are in the Bay Area (and really in California in general) to have such great places surrounding us. Can you think of a better place to spend a Saturday morning on a bike ride than Half Moon Bay? Notice I qualified that last question with the term "bike ride." Unfortunately, I can think of many better places to be on a Saturday morning, but if I'm going to be riding - why not Half Moon Bay!
