It was a windy day. Not a good day to be on the bike, but the kite surfers were having a blast.

I felt like I was pedaling uphill when the wind was blowing in my face. Then the wind would hit the right side. That wasn’t fun either. Had to fight the keeping the bike upright.

Having a tailwind was great. I just let the wind push me ten to thirteen miles per hour. I didn’t even bother pedaling. Yeah I know the racers keep pedaling because it is all about going fast.

I like the bikes coming out with a single chainring. I need to talk to the bike shop and see can I convert the Safari to a single chainring. Probably next year. Three chainrings seem to be a waste for me. Lately I have just been using the first chainring. I have been riding slower and just taking my time.

I was surprised on the way home. I was riding the bike/walk path along the Richmond Parkway heading to Point Pinole and two bicyclist were heading to Point Richmond. Think this is only the second time I saw bicyclist on the path.

Seems like Richmond makes the bike paths but seems bicyclist do not use them. Richmond residents don’t have the bicyclist mindset. but I’m glad they are there because it keeps me out of traffic.

At least I got a good ride in and got some errands done.
