  • I got up nice and early again this morning and astonishingly ate even more breakfast than usual.  I decided to do a few hills to work it off so instead of heading down Taravel from Dewey as I've done all week, I went up Pacheco and rode up on Forest Hill and Golden Gate Heights.  I rode past my pal Kevinn Tam's old house.  He has since moved to Minneapolis and we all miss him very much, including his house:

    Here is an incredible view of the Ocean as seen from 14th ave and Quintara:

    And one with me in it in my favorite jersey--  the New Mexico Flag:

    It's really warming up this week and I wore arm warmers instead of a fleece under my jacket.  I rode around Golden Gate Heights and took this picture of the incredible staircase at 16th ave and Moraga

    It's all mosaic.  Unbelievably beautiful, especially when the sun is shining on it but of course then it doesn't photograph well.  I headed down towards the ocean and hit Ocean Beach at Irving.  Then I went up Geary and got over to Lake and took Lake to Arguello to Euclid to Presidio to Post and then into the financial district.  Mileage came in at just under 16.  I felt good on the hills and I'm looking forward to more of them after work.
