Driving up.

So today was all about getting up early, load up the car, and drive to San Jose. From there I will take the Cal-train to SF tomorrow and start my ride.
Before dropping off my one-way rental at AVIS, I checked out the Diridion Train station; where it is, where to get the tickets in the station, and what track the train will leave tomorrow. Good thing about this station is that all the tracks are accessible via a ramp. No hassle with the bike in elevators, or staircases!
After that, I brought the rental car back to AVIS at San Jose International Airport and unload the bike and gear. From airport the to the Radission Hotel was only a 5 minute ride. The bike is noticeable heavy, but handles well. Just needs getting used to; slower acceleration, and longer break-way. Kinda like a diesel-truck...LOL. I can totally see that my small chain-ring on the front will get a good beating this trip ;o)

The room is clean and has WiFi,. That means that I can plan my route to the train-station tomorrow on google map, and update my blog (this one).
Tomorrow will be a long day. Up early, eat break-fast, ride to Diridion to catch the first train to SF at 8 AM. Should arrive around 9:30-ish in SF. Then a short ride to the Golden Gate bridge, and then the adventure will really start!

Now....of to happy hour, eat something small, relax and go to bed early.
