Bigger rides

I didn't write much all these last months. What have I done? Yes yes yes! I have biked more, and more, and more. First of all, I have commuted almost constantly, and the Langster has made me stronger. It is a great bike, very predictable, and not that tough. My second motivation has been friends. With my buddy Daniel and his new Giant TCR1 bike, we've been riding the hills of the Bay Area peninsula, from here in Palo Alto to Milbrae, at the limits of San Francisco. Our greatest so far has been 53 miles (85 kms!) on very nice stretches of asphalt. Discovered new landscapes, and discovered... my strengths!!! Singlespeeding across Sandhill, Portola Valley climbs, Wiskhey Rd, and many others. Steady motion, staying sit. I was surprised of the good performance of the Langster compared to fancier bikes.

Through the summer, I have lost a bunch of weight - now I am somewhere above 77 kilos.... This brings us to my next post -- another BIG surprise in my biking adventures.
