I did it, but was too lazy to post it....

Geez Louise, where did the time ago? I am such an a-hole for not even posting it, but I did it! I rode in Bike The Bay. It was a glorious August day, more than 5 months ago.

I don't know who that silver fox is behind me. Let's call him Stuart.

It was easy and the hill going up Coronado bridge was a breeze. As I approached the top of the hill I struggled a tad so I counted the light posts....I said to myself, "only 5 more, 4 more, 3 more...." then I got to top of hill and cruised down fast. My fitter, faster friends of course got to the top of the hill before I did but on the way down I unknowingly cruised past them. From behind me I heard "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Mandiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" That was them, kindly and loyally waiting for their slo mo pal at the top of the hill. They are much nicer than I am, I didn't wait, just cruised on assuming I was behind.. The end of the ride was rad. I had a egg, bacon crepe from a food truck and drank my face off in the New Belgium beer garden. This was during the time frame of the ice bucket challenge.  It was so hot and I was a week behind in the challenge my darling 12 year old niece gave to me so I did it, in my bike gear, at the beer garden, after 26 miles with a view of the San Diego Bay and Coronado bridge in the background. I wore my GoPro the whole time so the footage is pretty rad and the stuff I saw along the way was mostly water and bay, but there were a couple spectacles I didn't expect to see like: a mound of salt like a salt mine I licked my lips and they were salty as I drove past, 3 grandmas learning how to ride motorcycles in a motorcylce training course, stolen cars? They probably weren't stolen but at mile 19 that's where my mind went, it was a huge parking lot filled with Jettas that still had white wrappers on it and missing liscence plates. Overall, glad I did it. Will do it again. Viva La Bike The Bay!
