Back to it - Alameda Ride

It's been six weeks since I've had a decent ride. Am feeling much better now, leg and back almost mended. Did a short ride last Sunday - it was decent, but I wasn't quite there yet. I am incredibly grateful to be riding again.

Did a flat ride today, in Alameda. Rode through the former Alameda Naval Air Station - what a place for incredible views of the San Francisco Bay and the city of San Francisco. I pinch myself when I see views like this - do I really live here? Incredibly beautiful ride, weather was perfect, albeit a bit cool, gentle breeze, mid-50's, crystal clear. See the ride here.

I rode by the Hornet ship which is now a museum. Have never been aboard, but have been by it many times, both on land and on the water. Pretty amazing ship to see. The picture actually shows some of the ships next to the Hornet. If you look closely, you can see San Francisco in the distance, between the ships.

From there, rode along the Alameda Beach, then across the island and back to my starting point. Nothing amazing, but a great short ride to get back into my training routine. Well, now that I think of it - yes, there was something amazing - being able to ride again. Sweet and wonderful!
