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.

Christmas Rides!

Oops... haven't posted in a while.  Been a busy holiday season and I haven't been out on my bike as much.

This weekend, I celebrated Christmas with several bike rides:
12.5 miles to Santee:  http://runkeeper.com/user/music2mychakras/activity/63699201
12.5 miles home:  http://runkeeper.com/user/music2mychakras/activity/63705228
12.5 miles to Bonita:  http://runkeeper.com/user/music2mychakras/activity/63766527
21 miles home:  http://runkeeper.com/user/music2mychakras/activity/63768202

So, a total of about 60 miles on the bike over the holiday weekend.  Not too shabby!  I hiked up Cowles Mountain yesterday morning to burn the last of the Christmas calories off.  Up to the top in under 33 minutes -- I believe that's my fastest climb up ever.  Felt great!

Now on to more training.  I have a 50 mile challenge ride planned for some time in January... from home, I will venture across Mission Valley, up through La Jolla to Del Mar, then across the 56 bike path to Rancho Penasquitos, down Black Mountain, across Mission Valley to complete the loop home.  LOTS of hills!

And, I have officially decided I will be running in the SD Half Marathon in March.  It will be both for challenge and cross-training for ALC.  Goal is sub-2:20, which will mean pushing my 11 minutes pace up to about a 10:30 pace.  There... I've said it... there's no taking it back now!!!
