  • Monday, April 7

    I felt great this morning which was nice because I'd ridden so much over the weekend.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Fowler to Reposa to Rockdale to Omar to Sequoia to Bella Vista to Burlwood to Los Palmos to Hazelwood to Yerba Buena to Brentwood to Maywood to El Verano to Upland.  This is Upland Street looking west towards the ocean:

    I continued on Upland to San Benito to Ocean to Clearfield into 34th to Yorba to 35th to Vicente and down to the ocean.  I came up the Great Highway and went into Golden Gate Park at MLK.  I took it to Bowling Green to JFK and into the Panhandle and then Baker to McAllister to Polk to O'Farrell.  This parking garage is on O'Farrell and it's got nice gothic detail:

    Fabulous Gargoyles painted gold.  Of course:

    I took O'Farrell to Powell where I took some pics of the St. Francis Hotel.  Wonderful detail outside, I'm not as sold on it inside:

      

    This is me with Union Square behind me:

    I continued on Powell to Post to Kearny.  This beautiful building is on Kearny and Sutter.  I love it:

    Check out the detail:

    I continued on Kearny to Bush to Sansome and into work.
