Riding with Julie

Met up with Julie after work today and did an easy 90 minute ride around Foothill Expressway up on Alpine Road...made a U turn where it hits Woodside Road then meandered under 280 and through the back roads of Los Altos back out onto Foothill. It was nice and full of rolling hills so my legs weren't searing from pain like they were on Saturday but it was still a bit of work for me. For Julie it was a total recovery ride from her racing madness weekend....lesson learned from this experience is to 1. not stay in King City unless you have to and 2. if you're a newbie, don't announce it at a race and don't try to be in the front of the pack...you're probably safer (and so are the other riders) if you hang back and get your feet wet.

On the way home cruisin down on 280, I made the obligatory stop in at the Duke of Edinburgh to visit Michelle, get an adult beverage and a quesadilla (and hot dog). Don't stop by there as much as I used to..but it really hasn't changed much in the past few years.

Julie was wearing a team kit...it had the logo of her husband Tim's company. It was really funny how she said that every company Tim works for ends up with a cycling team...hmmmm I wonder if Tim has something to do with that..
