Jordan's ALC Voyage

From June 3-9, 2012, I will be riding from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for the LA Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

I ride for two reasons. I first learned of the ALC during my on-going fitness journey, and thought it would be a great challenge. Then I started raising money and realized that my fitness journey had brought me here for a reason. It is time for me to make a difference, and help raise money for an important cause.

I ride to make a change in this world for the better. I ride because I can. I ride for those who can't.

Sunday Fun Ride

Having thoroughly exhausted myself yesterday, I was asleep by 10 PM.  Would have been 9 but Phillip wanted to finish watching a tv program.  When it turned out to be a two parter, I kicked him out of bed to go watch in the living room.  Ha!  Anyway, it meant I woke up at 5:30 AM today.  I opted to go back to sleep but was still out of bed by 8.

So, I went out for a bike ride because, frankly, what else is there do at that hour on a Sunday?

From home through mission valley to OB and back.  Grand total of almost exactly 2 hours saddle time for 24.63 miles -- bringing my weekend total to 59.07 miles.  Woot woot!  Off to a rocky start today, though... there's a bike path from the bottom of fairmount around the freeway entrance that is the most sorry excuse for pavement I've ever seen.  One particularly nasty bump sent my phone flying out of its holder.  Thankfully, it survived the fall, but for a few dings and scratches.  The rest of the ride was great -- apparently I was going over 30 MPH a few times on downhills. Brutal hill back out of mission valley, but I killed it.  350 feet up over 2 miles!  WOW!

I think I will take a well-earned rest day tomorrow.
