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.

Finally back in the saddle

Rode from home up to a doctor's appointment this morning in PB (12.5 miles) then back.  Notable moments from the ride involved 2 hills that I used to just barely survive... one was up Maryland Ave. from Hillcrest to Uni Heights -- not a horrible hill, but I always slowed down noticeably when I got to it.  Today, took the whole thing 12-15 MPH!

But even more notably... Presidio from Mission Valley up to Mission Hills.  Blew it out of the water!  Wasn't even tired or huffing and puffing at the top.  I remember that hill being worse last time I tried it.  I'm guessing that it's a combination of about 10% "I psyched myself out for a worse hill" and 90% "I'm just crazy fit these days."

Just glad to be back in the saddle, more than anything!
