On Tuesday, I completed a 40+ mile bike ride from my place in SF Mission to the Sunnyvale Palm Campus. Why? Let’s finish that story later.<\/p>\n
5:45 am<\/i> Alarm goes off. I am confused because it is dark. Then I realize that it is the day.<\/p>\n
6:00 am<\/i> I finally roll out of bed and grab my things together. I wash up and put on my bike pants and clima-cool top. <\/p>\n
