Up in the Hills to the South and West

I went on a bike tour to the south and West of Morgan hill, then up into the hills from the west.

Up in the Hills to the South and West 1 — **El Toro Up Close From the old neighborhood on the west side of Morgan Hill**

Up in the Hills to the South and West 2 — Ducks and Geese at Community Park. There is an unpaved path around this park that is a favorite of mine. Back when I was rehabbing from my heart valve surgery, walking around this was one of the first fun things I could do. It took me 20 minutes to go about half a mile. Going around it always reminds me how nice it is to be recovered.

Up in the Hills to the South and West 3 — **Open-space at Little Llagas creek drainage. A popular spot for** walking and biking.

Up in the Hills to the South and West 4 — **Further up the same path, there’s an elementary school’s grounds to the right**

Up in the Hills to the South and West 5 — **Heading up into the Hills southwest of town on Sycamore Drive**

Up in the Hills to the South and West 6 — **Looking Northeast from Sycamore**

Up in the Hills to the South and West 7 — **Paradise Valley from Oak Glen Avenue**

On the way home I did some intervals. It felt great to “stretch my legs” on a nice day. The majority of this ride was standing up which feels like “running on air” if you’re in a high enough gear. I did 8×1 minute intervals, 8×30 sec sprints, and some “on-bike strength” (climbing uphill while standing in a high gear). My next challenge is to break 4 minutes for a mile standing on the bike, so these intervals are point at that.

At this moment, I am a doctor and a health blogger. I wrote my first blog post in 2008 about a new symptom I had experienced with my skin. By 2011, I was writing almost weekly about medical topics and had become a contributing writer at fitcoachion.com. It didn't take me long to realize that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In 2014, I started working as a doctor and have written more than 25,000 words in that capacity. In addition to working as a doctor, I have also worked as a public relations specialist and as an English tutor.
