Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself as I just registered. I was introduced to this site a while back by "Bond", I believe that's the nickname that he goes by.
I am a 1.5 generation Korean. I am a father of 3 young girls, oldest is in middle school and younger 2 are still in elementary school, living in San Jose. Since the girls are still young, my week nights and weekends are typically spent shuffling them around between activities. When I do find the time, I usually spend it biking, typically mountain biking, although during the winter time I tend to grab my road bike.
Beginning of the year, I picked up a pedometer, and I started to walk for my daily exercise. I realized that riding once every other week or so wasn't cutting it. Recently, my interest turned towards hiking as I rather be doing things in nature; however, I have not had the opportunity to go on real hikes yet. I have done short 3-4 milers here and there. You could say I am a total newbie when it comes to hiking.
I look forward to joining you on Saturday at Lake Chabot.
PS. I can read and speak in Korean, but I have rough time typing in Hangul. Hope you won't mind that I am posting in English.
