30/12/09 - through the park and a little bit more

So I accidentally did 10mi today.

How does anyone accidentally do 10mi? Let me explain...

When you miss a turn in Golden Gate Park, lots can happen. Mainly you end up doing circles, run into dead ends and heaven forbid, you end up running into an Interstate Route.

I basically re-traced the route we took on Xmas Day - its one I know well enough and I know it's largely in a park, so that means cars are more aware of pedestrians right? I was wrong on that one... out of towners are not used to looking out for bikes.

And there I was, coming back from my ride... I missed a turn at the Polo Fields and ended up on Lincoln Way.

Uh-oh.

Anyway I righted it after doing circles round the lake.

Felt good. I am handling the distance ok.

Ride today is 10mi... i.e. 6% of distance...
