Erin Go Run

If you count Cary Johnson’s 1.6 mile ride from Pure Fitness this morning, 6 of us pedaled a combined 59 miles to make it to work this morning.   A little more than 50% of that distance is a result of my riding 30.5 miles from Pacific Beach!!! Look at my route on Google Maps. Assuming we all rode home, we would have traveled 114 miles total -probably saving us a total of 6 gallons in fuel. 

Overall, we found the streets biker friendly.  Stephen said he only flipped off 4 drivers. 
As Mia was stopped on the sidewalk contemplating calling an ambulance, one of those colorfully uniformed biker people slowed down to ask if she was okay.  See, they are friendly!
Cary’s ride was all Zen.  He had just finished his hour of yoga before making it over to work. 
Ricardo said he would do it again but with one of those padded gel seats so his touché won’t hurt so bad. 
Fumi prepared by taking a warm shower to loosen his muscles up.  He also took a longer route in favor of bypassing the Palomar Airport hill.
Xavier, who rides his bike to work now and again, said he’s noticed maybe 4 times as many people riding to work than when he started riding last October.  My 2 hour 45 minute voyage is still nothing to mess with.  Even though I spent most of my time paranoid about getting a flat tire, I have to admit that I would do it again IF: I got paid, drove part of the way or had reliable tires…

Riding out to lunch was a fun little trip too!  Nadia busted out her beach cruiser and we bee lined to the Food Court in just a few minutes. 

Join us next time!
