05.29.2015: Biking for Brews

I've been struggling to get motivated to work out again after our Tinkerbell run...and by struggling, I mean like not at all.  So, this week, I slowly started to get back into it.  Haven't felt like running much, and still getting a pain in my foot, so decided biking was a good alternative.  Also, want to take advantage of this amazing weather before it is gone!!
 
Today, I forced Vince to come with me since he hadn't been out doing anything either.  I normally do about an 8 mile roundtrip ride that goes out to the lake, halfway around, and back.  There are some cool houses on the other side of the lake that I like to go check out...very CA looking!  Vince had never been on this route this far before, and was surprised to see the area we ended up in...and how close it is to bike to.  It is actually faster to ride here than drive here since you are on the bike trail through the greenbelt & avoid all the roads, cars & lights.  He suggested we stop at Zipps and have a beer before heading back, so, since I basically dragged him out, I agreed.  It made the uphill trip home a bit harder than usual, but a good beer is always well worth it!
 
My favorite spot to bike/run to...so beautiful and peaceful. Could stay here for hours (if I didn't have to actually have the energy go home at some point!!)
