Ugh! I overslept and just came down Market in the AM.
I headed off after work Howard to 11th to Harrison to 22nd to Valencia and then stopped to admire the FABULOUS new City College building on Valencia between 22nd and 23rd. How gorgeous is this??
And check out this Aztec-licious tile installation:
I continued on Valencia to Mission to Richland to Leese to Crescent to Agnon to Justin into Congdon to Silver. I love this mosaic on the side of Hillcrest School on Silver Ave:
And here’s me in front of it.
I continued on Silver to University to Bacon to Hamilton. These are some of the ruined greenhouses that are on Hamilton between Wayland and Woolsey. They’d make a great community garden if restored, and look a little sculptural in their current state:
I ttok Woolsey to San Bruno into Bayshore and headed down toward Brisbane. Check out this big power thing with the fog on the hills behind it:
San Bruno Mountain looked foggy from below but wasn ‘t so bad once I got up into it. I headed up Guadalupe Canyon Parkway. It was green and pretty and cool. There’s a long climb up to the top followed by a fun downhill on a long well graded road. When you get to the bottom you want to do it again:
Guadalupe Canyon Parkway spits you out on East Market and I took that to San Pedro. This coolbuilding has probably seen better days but it really nice nonetheless:
I continued on San Pedro to Washington and followed into a residential area. This pretty cottage like house proves it’s not all ranch homes in Daly City:
This is the sun peeking through the fog also on Washington St.
I continued on Washington to 87th to Southgate to Westridge to Skyline and headed back towards San Francisco. This is a beautiful view of the Richmond and the Sunset from south of Lake Merced:
I took Skyline to Sloat to St. Francis to San Fernando to Portola to Corbett and then home. Fabulous ride!
