Bike The Coast

Participated in my first organized bike ride this weekend called Bike The Coast.  It was a ton of fun.  There were about 2000 bikers doing rides of 7, 15, 25, 50, 75, and 100 miles.  Since I'm sorta new to this biking thing I went for 25.  It was an ideal ride on an ideal day in SoCal.  Perfect weather and wonderful views along the coast.  One of the coolest things was to see all the different kinds of folks out riding.  There was everything from professional looking groups in identical gear (think Tour de France) to normal, everyday people (like me) just trying to improve fitness and get out in the fresh air.  Literally everyone had a great time!  Lots of smiles and comments about the great atmosphere.  Next year...50 miles!!
