Way to go Fernando! Here’s Fernando’s winning ride:
I started to train for the 50 mile ride. I did a 22.78 mile ride in Los Angeles from Legg Lake towards irwindale and back to Legg Lake. Felt amazing and can’t wait for my next bike session. I am supplementing my bike commute I used to do with gym sessions 5 days a week and now only biking on the weekends. When I started biking I was at around 320lbs and now I am at 270 and plan on getting to around 230 by the Bike the Coast event.
I did the 50 miler last year and it was the BEST ride I did all year. I am coming back this year to do it again!
My wife had so much fun helping out at the finish line she is going to do it again.
I am back to 100 mile training weeks after getting my second hip replacement in January.
We are looking forword to our weekend in Oceanside and getting back to Southern California hospitalty.
