SaiKrishna & Sravya’s Journal

I used to bike in last couple of months locally around our place but this time I took it to a long stretch, drive all the way back from Oracle to Ardenwood, Fremont. Yup, a total of around 22 miles(~35km) one-way. Car route is only 18miles but for bike route, its criss-cross, its 22mile.

I would say it all started with Dwarak forcing me to come on bike. Initial plan was to come upto Sun Microsystems in Bus and then on Bike from Sun Microsystems to Ardenwood, as the distance from Sun to Ardenwood is around 9miles or so(Car Route). Thought its doable..

Then Dwarak mentioned that he will drive all the way from office and meet me at Sun MicroSystems. Said Yes.
When evening came, I thought, let me see if I can drive for some distance, if I cannot will take the bus all-the-way back to our place.

Dwarak & Me started at 5:15PM from Oracle.
Here’s the time-line:
5:15PM start from Oracle
6:15PM Reached Sun Microsystems
6:22PM start bike again
6:30PM Reached the start point to get onto Dumbarton Bridge
6:45PM Got down from Dumbarton Bridge
7:10PM Crossed Quarry lake trail, onto Coyote Hills
7:20PM: Stop at Coyote Hills park
7:48PM: Reach Ardenwood.

It took 2 & half hours to bike from Oracle & Ardenwood.
I’ll say its really bit of stretch for me as I was really tired by the time I reached Quarry lake that am not able to bike anymore.
Ofcourse full credit goes to Dwarak for all the help like:
1. Forcing me to start Biking…
2. Once we reached Sun MicroSystems, Dwarak asked me to exchange the bike as my bike was old and it was very difficult to drive it also and on the other hand my backpack became very heavy and my back was hurting.. He took the back pack from me and he took my bike and gave me his new bike.
3. Also watching me, how am feeling and also gave me orange juice.

Thank you Dwarak.
