Bike The Limits get its name from last year’s routing, which rolled along the San Jose City Limits for 30, 60, or 100 miles! This year’s route will have a similar theme. The short route will cover about 33 miles, the middle distance will be a metric century (100km ~ 62 mi), and the full ride will be 100 miles long! The routes will be designed such that the shorter routes will follow the initial portions of the longer routes before breaking back to the start point.

weekend rain ride
1/31/2011
it unexpectedly rained this weekend here in the bay area and this time i was prepared! rain boots, oil cloth panniers, rain coat, and glasses for a dry ride. i have an issue with the weather gods where they like to do a rain dance whenever i'm riding but to my disappointment the day i was actually prepared, it didn't rain. the jokes on me. oh well, i'll be ready for it next time. yet, it looks like there's going to be dry rides and clear skies for the rest of the week. yippie! this calls for lots of good rides including a second sf bike par-tay! (stay tuned). hope you all had a lovely weekend!
