I finally had a chance to edit a quick video of the beginning of my ride from San Francisco to the first checkpoint in Daly City. The video was shot by my sister’s iPhone and my Canon SD870 IS point and shoot camera (which had the time lapse feature). My original plan was to use this to shoot video of the entire trip but due to the fact that the camera drained so much battery, I opted to stop shooting after the first half day and then a video at the end (which I’ll hopefully get to with a photo montage). I know it’s been months since the ride but I’m finally inspired to put something like this up here and share it with the world. Some highlights of the video include me taking off from the starting line and riding through the beautiful city of San Francisco. I then cross the Golden Gate Bridge. I find myself flying down a few hills that brings me to the south coast of the city and eventually make my way up a street in Daly City. There’s an easter egg there if you watch the video all the way until the end. Enjoy!
One of the items on my bucket list is to ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a bicycle. I was planning on participating on the ever-popular AIDS/Lifecycle ride but that normally takes place earlier in the year. This pretty much gives me 2 month’s time to raise $3,000. Yup. Not gonna happen. So instead I found another ride for the Arthritis Foundation called the California Coast Classic. This will start and end at the same location and I also have to raise $3,000 to participate. Fortunately, the ride will take place from September 25th to October 2nd. This will give me plenty time to fundraise. I’ve included a donation progress meter to the right of this post to track my progress. >>>>>>>>>
Please help me reach my goal by donating or if you like, join me on this great adventure! If I know you personally, I’ll be asking you soon. The next task is to learn more about the organization so I can sound half-way knowledgable about who I’m helping here. Big plans are yet to come for this so I’ll keep ya’ll posted here.
Our trip continued through San Franciso. We ate a a damn good place that made awesome breakfast omelettes and crepes. After that we took our travels up through Willits and Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt State Park. Highlights included Confusion Hill and driving our car through a redwood tree. We finally reached our stop in Eureka, California.
