What the heck Cardinal's

The St. Louis Cardinal's, once 1 game out of first place, have now gone on an 0-7 losing streak. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. I really really hope they make the playoffs, but after this past week, I'm not sure they deserve it.

King's Mountain -> OLH

With Wilmot gone, today I went on the longest bike ride I've ever been on. Starting from my home in East Palo Alto, I made my way on Sand Hill and climbed Kings Mountain Road to Skyline. Kings Mountain was pretty grueling, since it was all uphill, taking me almost an hour to climb. The ride between Skyline and OLH was awesome though, allowing me to reach up to 35mph as I flew down the road. By the time I had gone down OLH and hit Alpine, I was pretty tired, never having ridden this far. Luckily, the route back was flat and easy, allowing me to hit (almost) 40miles on a single ride.
