It is bike-to-work day today, so I decided to join a group of cyclists riding down to Google from San Francisco.
The ride is 40+ miles and takes you down the edge of the bay, past the airports and industrial estates to Palo Alto and then over to Mountain View. Everyone else was on road bikes, so it was tough for me to keep up. Pretty much the whole way I felt like I was flat out in top gear, and if they’d gone any faster I just wouldn’t have been able to maintain the speed.
But I made it and the only things that are really hurting are my arse (I need cycling shorts) and my back (to make it even harder for myself I had a back pack).
Right, off to get a much needed shower.
