    I was pretty wiped out when I woke up because Sunday had been such a very long day but I eventually got moving and headed out the door.  I took the familiar Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taraval and then out the the beach where it was unbelievably gorgeous.  We don't get weather like this very often and it was a treat.  I headed up the coast and then up Geary up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor and then down to Lake to Arguello to Clay to Post and then into work.

    I went home for lunch and man was it every hot.  And Civic Center was a freakshow.  I've noticed that a hot day in San Francisco makes the angry people angrier and the crazy people crazier and when those two groups overlap.....

    After work I did Marian Headlands which was really fun.  There were a lot of people up there because it was such a nice day so I was super careful. 

    Then I headed up Ike Turner hill and then back down towards the bridge.  Why do I call it Ike Turner Hill??  Because it smacks you the whole way up but when you're done with it you've got million dollar legs.  Instead of heading onto the bridge I went down to Fort Baker and then came up to the bridge from underneath.  Such a great view of the city from down there:

    It was starting to get dark when I got back into the city but I couldn't resist riding around the Presidio and the Marina.  Here's Crissy Field in the dwindling light:

    Then I headed up Scott to Eddy to Polk to Market and then home.  Total mileage:  50
