  • I was up early to go riding (yet again!).  Today, I took Eureka into Noe Valley then Diamond up into Diamond Heights.  Then Diamond Heights Blvd to Portola and then up to the twin peaks viewing platform.  I love it up there.  Don't I look delighted?

    Here's a photo looking North from the viewing platform up to the Golden Gate.  I did a lot of climbing to get up there:

    On the way down, I took Clarendown over to 7th avenue and then went up Dewey to Pacheco and climbed over Forest Hill.  Here's the view looking up the stairs at Pacheco--  Forest Hill is so pretty:

    Then Down 9th Avenue into the park out Arguello and over into the Presidio.  Here is the view from "Inspiration Point" looking north towards the bay of the Palace of Fine Arts and Alcatraz:

    And then Angel Island:

    I headed over to the Marina amd then over Fort Mason and into Fisherman's Wharf and then up Columbus to work.  Whew!  It ended up being a little over fourteen miles but there were a lot of hills involved so I'm pretty beat.
