It was in the thirties this morning but it was dry so I went on a longer morning ride than I have the last couple of days.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast and then up the Great Highway to Geary to 35th to Clement to 34th and then up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor.  This is the Marin Headlands from Camino Del Mar:

The Golden Gate Bridge from a little farther down:

Me on Camino Del Mar:

I took Camino Del Mar to Lake to Arguello to Clay to Fillmore to Post to Kearny to Bush to Sansome and into work.

It rained all Monday night and the rain finally stopped about 7AM.  I skipped the long ride in the morning because it was freezing and soaking wet just came down Market into work.  Here's me at Market and the freeway:

After work I headed off Sutter to Fillmore to Clay to Laurel to Washington to Arguello to Lake to 23rd to Cabrillo to 47th to Fulton the Great Highway and then down the coast to Taravel to Merced to Hernandez to Laguna Honda to Portola to Corbett to Ord and then home for dinner.

We've had some weather.  It's been rainy and incredibly cold.  I had to get my hair cut on Saturday and then we had the Different Spokes Christmas party so I didn't ride on Saturday.  Sunday it rained all day and I didn't leave the house.  Here's sweet little Ashley passed out in front of the fire on Sunday afternoon:

It was very wet but not raining when I left for work.  It was too cold and too wet for any sort of a long ride so I just came down Market into work.  It was a little nicer when I went home for lunch.  Here's out pretty Christmas tree:

And the boys lounging:

When I started heading back to work I saw this ominous cloud heading my way so I hurried as much as I could:

Me at Church and Market:

I managed to get back to work before the rain started up again.  After work I rode Sutter to Steiner into Sanchez to Market to 17th to Ord and home.  It started raining again as I was coming up the hill and pretty much poured for the rest of the night.

After work I headed off Howard to 11th to Harrison to 15th to Albion to 16th to go get food from the Big Lantern and then 16th to Market to 17th to Ord and home to Mr. Poe.  He's had a cold and feels like crap. Poor baby.

The view down Golden Gate towards Market.  Someday this will be a nice place to live.  I swears it:

Me on Golden Gate:

I continued on Golden Gate to Market to Sansome and into work.

I went home over lunch and little Ashley was raisin' hell as usual:

Me in my kitchen.  Wearing super yellow:

It was freezing cold again this morning.  And I'm sick of it.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast.  I came up the Great Highway and stopped by the Cliff House for a pic of the beach looking south:

The sun rising behind the north windmill:

I continued up to Geary and then took 34th to the Palace of the Legion of Honor.  Which I hadn't visited all week.  I believe it missed me:

The golf course.  Apparently this is the site of a former cemetery.  I wonder whether some of the structures in it are from that time:

Me at the Palace of the Legion of Honor:

I got on Camino Del Mar and took that to Lake to Arguello to Clay to Fillmore to Post to Kearny to Bush to Sansome and into work.

After work I headed off Howard to 11th to Harrison to 25th to Valencia to Tiffany to 29th to San Jose to Wilder to Diamond to Monterey into Vicente to Wawona to Taravel to Dewey to Laguna Honda into 7th to Hugo to 3rd to Lincoln into Frederick to Stanyon to Waller to Cole to Haight to Scott to Duboce to Noe to Market to 17th to Ord and home.  Mr. Poe had to work late so I was home alone again.  The dogs and I watched a movie and waited for him to come home.

It was freezing cold again this morning.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast.  I came down the Great Highway and stopped at the foot of Sloat for pics of the pretty sunrise on the ocean:

I continued on the Great Highway to Skyline to Lake Merced to Winston to Moncada to Urbano to Pico to Ashton to De Montefort to Miramar to Ocean to Phelan to Judson to Foerster to Monterey to Diamond to Wilder to Arlington to Randall to San Jose to Duncan to Valencia to Market.  I stopped to get a shot of the pretty morning:

I continued on Market.  Here's me at Montgomery:

I continued on Market to Sansome and into work.

They finally finished repainting the Gay and Lesbian Center.  I like the colorscheme they picked which, interestingly enough, is neither of the two choices were asked to vote on.  Isn't that always the case:

Pretty palm trees across the street:

After work I headed off Sutter to Fillmore to Clay to Walnut to Washington to Arguello to Lake to 23rd to Cabrillo to 47th to Fulton to the Great Highway and then Kirkham to 6th to Judah into Parnassus to Cole to Carmel to Clayton to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.
