Hike 3- Mission Peak via Ohlone

Chasing views and burning legs on the Ohlone hike up to Mission Peak. The climb is no joke, but every step pays off when the Bay stretches out beneath you. Wind in your face, sun on your back, and that summit feeling makes it all worth it. Definitely one of the best reminders of how rewarding the grind can be.

Hike 3 - Mori Point & Sweeney Ridge Trail Loop

chasing coastal winds and golden hills 🌿🌊 started at mori point with fog rolling in over the cliffs, then climbed up toward sweeney ridge where the views just kept getting better. ocean on one side, endless green on the other, and that salty breeze following you the whole way. a little burn on the climbs, a lot of “wow” at every turn. this loop really has everything—quiet trails, dramatic coastlines, and that peaceful feeling you only get when you’re out there with nothing but the sound of the wind and your footsteps. definitely one of those hikes that stays with you long after it’s over.

Guess what made its grand debut at the San Francisco Marathon this weekend? Our long-overdue, super-shiny, finally-here ‘Team Asha Silicon Valley’ banner!

For an team that empowers over 500 aspiring athletes each year across endurance sports like running, biking, triathlon, and hiking — and raises over half a million dollars annually for education of underprivileged kids — this was a moment for celebration. And yes, we totally struck poses, beaming with joy and took a ridiculous number of selfies with the banner. The energy was electric.
