Mare Island Tour

On this day, I decided to take a trip to Mare Island. I even decided to ride over Highway 37. Yes, it can be done. There is a path on the bridge that allows you to go over it safely.

Here are some pics and a video!

Welcome Cervelo R3

I love the Cervelo C3 so much, I think she needed a friend!

She is home! Welcome home Cervelo C3!

Had her put back together in Berkley. Had to wait a day to get her back but she is home!

2017 BMC Team Machine ALR01

Did it again...

Just happened to be on eBay and could NOT pass up on this amazing deal. I bought me another bike! I am now the owner of a 2017 BMC TeamMachine ALR01. The bike is retail for $2100, but bought it for $999. I think the seller posted the bike incorrectly. He had other bikes for auction well below the retail just like this was prices. Fortunately for me I saw "Buy It Now", so I did! It will be arriving on December 11th.

This bike will be the bike I use on my Wahoo Trainer. This will also be taken on trips if I ever need to fly. The Cervelo will be my main squeeze, but I have a terrific number two!

2017 Cervelo C3

I'm going in BIG!!

On a recent trip to Montreal I visited Cycle Technique. CT is one of the best bike shops in Montreal. I was very fortunate to be able to talk bikes with one of the guys who works there. He helped me pick out an Endurance Bike. Endurance because I wasn't about to compete in any races but I do plan to go on long rides with friends.

Becuase the service was great, I decided to get the bike from CT. I went with the Cervelo C3. Here are two pictures below.

I will be picking the bike up on December 16th. I cannot wait to get it home! These are all pictures I found on eBay of the same bike!

Longest Ride so far!

It was such a great morning that I decided to drive a little bit to get a new ride in. I've been using the web to find new trails and there are a TON in Bay Area. I've been checking out the Berkeley Marina recently and decided I would head there today.

As you can see, I parked on the city streets. It's free and there were a few other people who did the same thing too! Berkeley is cool because bikes are welcomed in the city and there are a lot signs for bike path and there are a lot of bikers already!

In this pic I tried to get the 3 key points of interest. The Golden Gate, the new Eastern Span of the Bay Bridge, and the always changing SF Skyline.

I'm getting into biking

Can't go to the gym and workout that much anymore. I can, but just need some serious motivation. Mentally I can't do it unless I'm playing ball. I've never been able to just 'work out' an extended period of time. I can't just run around and not go anywhere, so I'm starting to get into biking as a form of exercise.

Here is my new ride. I personalized it. Front tire options to keep me loving my bike. I plan to order a 3 spoke black rim in the near future so look out for that!

I got a new bike for my nephew too! I also repaired my brothers bike to make sure all bike options are available. He was going to sell it or give it away.

After doing some research there are a lot of bike trail options in the bay. Who would have known! So far Benicia State park has been my local ride. I plan to move out to farther locations to mix up the biking.
