Biking in Bay Front Park On thursday and Friday this week, Phani and I were biking for an hour in Bay Front Park which is just 1.5 miles away from our Menlo Park Campus. On Friday, Manuel (Phani's manager) and Ken also joined the party. We first made one round of Campus and then headed towards the Bay Front Park. The wind was successful in reducing our speed on Friday. Ken was little slow but we did sync up with him before reaching the park. In the park you will find four-to-five small hills and there are very small trails (just like trekking trails) on them. They are not meant for biking but we have been biking on them too. You'll find the bay at the back of the park and can easily see Dumbarton and San Meato Bridge. We all were successful in climbing those small hills. On the way back we could come at high speed. Once manuel said that I was riding at 20 miles per hour. I immediately started riding faster and must have touched 25 miles per hour (40 kms) on the flat surface. It was wind which perhaps pushed further :-). We covered 6.8 miles in 1.15 hours. Here's the photograph taken by Manuel before starting (2006-05-05 12:30:00.0) Permalink
