Biking Log: 35+ miles Silver Strand

This morning I intended to get up much earlier however I end up getting up around 8:30am and by the time I gotten ready and finally arrive in Silver Strand at 10am.

I started riding and keeping cadence at over 90+ and finish riding silver strand round trip in exactly 1 hour which was 17 miles. Then I meet up with James, John, and William and easy padeling for the next 18 miles since William could not go too fast on his mountain bike.

On the way back we saw a bunch folks were kite-boarding at Silver Strand state beach. It was interesting to see it up and close. This might be something we will considering doing next summer.

Total mile 35 miles.

MS Bike Tour Rider Check-in @ REI

Today I went to REI to do rider check-in which included signing the waiver form and pick up my rider number and goodies bag.

Also attend a safety class. and from the safety class, I've learned from Phil that a person can usually burn 700 calories in a hour of cycling but can only absorbed 200 calories per hour. It is important to monitor calories input and refuel every hours.

I also picked up a new a multi-purpose bike tool which contains 17 pieces of various bike tools.
Also a new drinking bottle to put energy drink and I will use my current bottle to store water.

I also receive a biking sock in the mail for meeting the minimal donation requirement by 09/30.
