  • I slept in because I was a little worn out from all the pride festivities.  And by worn out I mean hung over.  I finally managed to get out of the house and rode Corbett to Clayton to Ashbury to Page to Market to Sansome and into work. 

    After work I headed off Sutter to Fillmore to Sacramento to Arguello to Lake to 23rd to Balboa and down to the coast.  The smoke is all gone and the ocean was especially sparkly.  I don't know how else to describe it but it was beautiful:

    Me with the great highway behind me:

    The beautiful North Windmill.  The South Windmill is under renovation but there hasn't been a lot of change to the exterior in a long time.  As far as I can tell, they've gutted the interior of the base and are laying a new foundation for the restored windmill which will be installed at a later date.  Stay tuned:

    I went into Golden Gate Park at JFK and followed it into the panhandle.  Then I took Stanyon to Page to Central where I stopped to get pics of these jaw droppingly gorgeous Victorians.  I think there's five identical ones all in a row.  Stunning:

      

    I continued on Central to Haight.  This is Buena Vista East from Haight Street:

    And the gorgeous home across the street at Baker and Haight:

    I continued on Haight to Scott to Duboce to Castro and into work.

    I'm halfway through the year and well ahead of my mileage goal.  I don't think I'm going to have a lot of trouble hitting 10,000 miles.  I wonder how far I can take it??
