9/7/08 bike the bay SD

bike the bay SD (http://www.bikethebay.net) was a pretty awesome ride. it was an opportunity to ride on the coronado bridge, lots of the people there used the term "once in a lifetime" to describe it so it has to be a big deal right?

it was REALLY nice on the bridge, even with all the morning fog nice views in both directions going up and zooming down into coronado.

the rest of the ride was really enjoyable as well. i think the SDCBC did a really good job putting the ride together, and the nice bike paths in that area did not hurt.

i started in the 3rd wave (~100 riders each wave), after the bridge hooked up with a couple on a tandem and an SDBC rider to blast through coronado. at this point we found a pretty good group of about 6-7 other riders, and kept it going strong all the way back.

i think we finished the ~27 mile course in a little over an hour, but i had my clock running the whole time that i was sitting at the starting line so it shows up as a lot longer.

time: 2:08
mileage: 27.33
total ascent: 844ft

total miles to date: 482.89
