Inaugural Bike to Work
Finally, the inaugural bike to work day. Yesterday 09/26/2006.
The first day was great. I woke up, not too tired and start riding. I was dark when I left the house. It was a little bit hard to see. As I ride on, the sky gets brighter. There are mist rising from the creek as I ride. I ran into an old friend at the train station. We talked as the train took us toward the Great America Station. The sun was rising outside. The only problem I had is after I got there. I was planning to take the shuttle so I can scout out my way during lunch. The shuttle do not have a bike rack. So I have to ride to work, since I don't know the way, obviously I got lost.
The ride home is a breeze. I got to the station 15 minutes early than I should. I mistakenly thought the shuttle time was the train time. Stupid me. Anyway, at least I did not get there 15 minutes late.
My legs are quite sored today. I rode 30-40 minutes more than I had planned. But this is really good exercise. I felt more tired today driving than yesterday.
I had some greedy thoughts. The conductor did not check my ticket. I have a free 1 week pass. It seems to be an honor system for the most part. I was thinking to pretend that I did not start riding till someone check my ticket and write the start day. On final thought, that is cheating and stealing (from the train company and the fellow riders), I will buy my tickets as I should next week. Thank you Holy Spirit to keep me from evil.
Pray that I keep this up.... Both biking and not sinning.... For Health.... For goodness.... Cheers!

Finally successful dry run!
Finally Dry Run is successful. I was 20 minutes late starting but I got there in less than 45 minutes. It was early enough not to have many cars. I survey the ACE train station. The ticket office is close then. Parking is full on a Saturday morning. I would doubt finding a parking in the morning on a weekday would be easy. So biking or taking the bus would be more appropiate. Let me try again tomorrow at the correct time just to get myself used getting up.
The trail was very nice, ducks are flying, mist are rising from the alameda creek. Too bad I did not bring a camera. Anyway, even if I have, I would not stop, I need to time the trip. I saw a snake coiling on the trail. It has brownish yellowish bands on the body. I ride by it towards the station and also return trip. It looks poisonous and I did not want to mess with it.
