Should I bike the LA Marathon? February 9, 2004
Posted by Owen in : Fun , add a commentAs you may or may not know, one of my roommates and a good friend are running the LA Marathon in March. Well it turns out they also have a bike race 
the same day on the same course. One of my other roommates wants to give it a ride and he asked if I wanted to go. It doesn’t sound too hard–9 MPH is a reasonable rate, but I’m not sure if I’m up for it. I’d need to tune up my bike and practice a lot–just what I need: more work!
To help convince me, he sent me the above picture of people on a mountain bike from the official website. Anyway, I think it sounds like fun, so I’m leaning toward yes. Now I can say I’ve done the LA Marathon, even if I have to do it at 6 am to get out of the way of the real runners.
