I started this morning's ride with Bill Harwood in Oakland, through Berekeley, and up to Grizzly Peak with a short stop at Inspiration Point, which always has a breathtaking view. After taking our time downhill to Orinda, we headed to Lafayette where Bill left me and I continued onto Moraga up to Pinehurst and back down into Oakland.
Going downhill has become much easier for me. A few weeks ago, I was watching bikers (motorcyclists) take turns fast with their inner knees pointing into the curve. I decided to do the same and felt like such a kid who just learned something new. I became a bit more adept in taking these turns and cycling downhill became a joy instead of something that filled me with terror and stress - weeeeeeeeeeeee!
