today i went out to silver strand. the last time i cycled on silver stand was when i was a kid with my dad. he had his large blue bike with the baby seat and i had my brothers silver bicycle. that was a long time ago... with its scenic view and flat terrain it seem like a nice ride. i mapped it out on the google pedometer and its a 12 mile bicycle ride, round trip. i've ridden about 10 miles before. so completing this ride will be the longest ride so far. i set aside all my gear to prepare myself for this ride the day before. so i was pretty much set. i used my hydration pack for this ride. i made sure the tires were all aired up to 100 psi and crammed the bicycle in the back seat of the corolla.
when i got there i noticed that there was a lane for each direction of traffic... which was pretty cool. there were all sorts of riders. a lot of them were the road bicycle type people with there jerseys and spandex shorts. it was fairly hot and having sun screen was a must. the strand seemed a bit long but since it didn't have any inclines or hills it was fairly easy ride.
i had a great time on this ride and plan on riding more in the future. the only that was buggig me was my handle bar. my handle has a chrome like finish and it reflected the sun in my eyes on some occasions. good times!
