When I went home for lunch I picked up my new road bike and took it to Mike’s on Howard. It wasn’t shifting well and something was rubbing and I needed it in good shape before Saturday. It turned out to be a part of the cassette that was stripped and needed to be replaced but thankfully that only took a couple of minutes. Everything works beautifully now.
After work I headed off Columbus to North Point to Van Ness to Francisco to Laguna to Chestnut to Lyon and into the Presidio at the Lombard Gate and got on Lincoln. It was very foggy yet again. I got a pic of the progress they’re making on the renovation of Doyle Drive which connects the Golden Gate Bridge with the Marina. They’ve chopped down a bunch of trees by the old stables. I’m interested to see what they’re going to do:
I continued on Lincoln into Camino Del Mar and up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor. I stopped at the Holocaust Memorial for a few pics. I thought it would be even more evocative against the fog, Thankfully, there weren’t asian seniors doing tai chi on it:
They’re painting the di Suvero Pax Jerusalemme a battleship grey. I’m so hoping it’s primer because the color was one of the few things about this piece that I like:
The Legion of Honor:
Me:
From there I headed down to 34th to Balboa and down to the coast. The dense fog did not seem to be stopping the surfers:
The view south:
I went into Golden Gate Park at JFK and took that to the Panhandle to Stanyan to Page to Scott to Duboce to Noe to Market to 17th to Ord and home for dinner.
