Mill Creek Road

The neighborhood streets where littered with golden brown leaves. The leaves made crackling sounds as I rode over them. The chill in the air confirmed that fall has come upon us.

I decided to hit an old road that I use to ride 15+ years back. Mill Creek Road in Fremont is 4.25 miles going up. From what I recall this is a hard climb. But today it seemed easy.

I wish I brought my camera to catch the changing colors of the season.

Alum Rock Park Ride

Last Saturday morning I did a ride to Alum Rock Park. Did some hill climb intervals/sprints.


Then I took the bike out on the trail as well...well as far as my 700x23 tires would allow me to!


I got a glimpse of quite a few deer during the ride as well.


And I got to break in the new Garmin Edge 705 as well!

Find for the Day

It never ceases to amaze me what you might find on the road while biking. This is my find for the day.

Another addition to my BT gadgets.

Car vs Bike

I've been following a court trial that just started this month from an incident that happened back on July 2008.

Why is it that a majority of articles that report this seem to present it as motorist vs cyclist when its plainly people vs people. No matter how you label them, some person did something to another person which caused a reaction right or wrong. People need to learn how to get along and respect one another.

I hope to never have what happed to these people happen to me.

If you are interested in following the court trial you can read about it here.
