I like long weekends for the extra free time it gives me to take long rides. This weekend I racked up over 70 miles.
I did two rides to Craneway Pavilion in Richmond. The weather was nearly perfect: warm, and almost completely still air. Sunday was nicer with a little cooler temperatures.
Monday, I decided to do the Oakland Bay Bridge again. It's a nice challenge, but I needed more time out, so I took the split at the gate afterwards and headed into Oakland. This branch took me into the Port of Oakland, and I ended back up at the Middle Harbor Shoreline Park.

Now, I now it's not a race, but sometimes it's just the fact that there's someone in front of me that I have to ride that much harder to get in front of them.

A corollary to the above is that some songs are dangerous on an iPod while your'e riding. The soundtrack to the new Tron is a good pace music but just makes me want to go fast. Speed Racer is very dangerous.
