  • Saturday, April 19

    I did a really long ride today.  I headed off over the Golden Gate Bridge, through Sausalito into Mill Valley and over Camino Alto into Corte Madera.  I continued towards Fairfax and then Nicasio and then up to the Cheese Factory.  And then I headed through Chileno Valley which was really pretty.  I had pretty massive headwinds all day and didn't get a lot of pics for that reason, but I did get a couple of this 1906 schoolhouse:

    Chileno Valley Road spit me out on the way to Tomales and I took that into town and then out to Dillon Beach.  I stopped to get some pics of the bay:

    I headed back and was surprised how quickly I got back into Tomales.  The wind was nuts!  I then headed down Tomales Bay which was a mistake because I was suffering through gusty cross winds the whole time.  I went through Point Reyes Station and then over Olema Hill and through Samuel P Taylor Park and then back to Fairfax  where I got a flat.   I fixed it and went back over Camino Alto, through Sausalito and went over the bridge where it was very, very windy.  I went through the Presidio and back into Golden Gate Park where I got ANOTHER flat.  It was getting late and I was beat so instead of fixing it I had dear Mr. Poe come pick me up.
