Super Bowl LX: Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

Since the Super Bowl LX Seahawks vs. Patriots was playing at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, I decided to arrange a place to watch it locally. I looked around at Double D's, but it was too expensive ($150/person). Many other places were already all booked. However, I found that Water Tower Kitchen in Campbell had reservations available (with a minimum $50/person spend). I made reservations for 3:00 p.m. and arrived at around 2:30 p.m. to secure good seats. Luckily, we arrived at a half-empty restaurant and were seated in a convenient location (upstairs), with excellent viewing of multiple TV sets.

We ordered the following items (I was very hungry from the previous mountain bike ride around Lexington Reservoir):

  • Shareables: Hummus with Pita, Buffalo Chicken Bites
  • Alex: Miso Salmon, Strawberry Drink 
  • Boris: Baja Shrimp Ceviche & Shrimp Salad, Calisqueeze Blood Orange Wheat Beer

The food was average, but I really liked my Calisqueeze Blood Orange Wheat Beer. It was really delicious, and I had two glasses! (one for free, since the waitress was too busy).

The Super Bowl was not very exciting as the Seahawks steamrolled the Patriots.

When Bad Bunny's half-time show came on, the restaurant dimmed the lights, and lots of young, Spanish-speaking ladies came out dancing. 

We watched the first 3 quarters, but the game was starting to get boring, and we returned home during the fourth (and final) quarter.

Mountain Biking around Lexington Reservoir

I had decided to try using my iGPSPORT BiNavi GPS Bike computer to mountain bike from my house to  Lexington Reservoir and back. This is a popular, highly rated trail also available on Komoot.

It was a very difficult, 20-mile climb with 2835 feet of elevation gain. It has some spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. It took me 3 hours to complete the ride, and I had to walk my bike through some of the steepest sections.

The heart sensor was extremely useful in preventing me from overexerting myself. The cadence and speed sensors were less useful.

Playing Golf at the Pruneridge Golf Club

Since our tee time was not found (booked for 09:30), we decided to practice driving the ball at the Pruneridge Golf Club. When we arrived at 09:00, the parking lot was already getting quite full.

I had a lot of difficulty getting sufficient depth and consistency.
