  • Wednesday, September 19

    It's starting to get light a lot later in the morning so it's been hard to take AM ride pics.  I took Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and then down to the coast.  It was blustery and cool and the ocean was angry looking:

    The I continued up the Great Highway to Geary to Palace of the Legion of Honor then down to Lake to Arguello to Clay to Fillmore to Post and into the Financial District.

    After work I headed out Sutter to Fillmore to Sacramento to Arguello and into Golden Gate Park.  This is the monument to Britney Spear's nanny bravely setting out to find clothes for her neglected charges. 

      

    OK maybe it's a monument to frontier mothers.  But I like my dedication better.  From there I headed over to Stow Lake which looked very pretty in the late afternoon sun:

    The Chinese Pavilion:

    I headed out to Ocean Beach and started headomg south.  It was VERY windy and I was getting sandblasted (literally!) the whole time.  I saw a British Airways 747-400 taking off for Heathrow:

    This is me on the Great Highway:

    I continued down towards Lake Merced.  The churning ocean even managed to scare off the surfers!


    Then I headed down to Lake Merced.  Away from the coast, the wind wasn't so gusty and the lake was calm:

    Some rowers out on the lake:

    I took Winston under the Stonestown Galleria and into the Ingleside.  Very pretty when it isn't foggy.  Which isn't all that often:

    Then I headed over to Ocean.  This coffee shop is in the coolest building:

    Then I continued into City College for my class and then Foerster to Teresita to Portola to Evelyn to Corbett home.  Total bike mileage:  35.
