    I'm a measly $215 away from my $5,000 Lifecycle goal.  I'd really appreciate it if you would pledge me if you haven't already.  The Lifecycle is less than a month a way and I'm really looking forward to it!

    Thursday was bike to work day.  Although I love the idea of bike to work day, in practice it's a bunch of people who don't know they're doing all trying to head downtown at the same time while well meaning volunteers keep trying to throw you free stuff at random intervals.  It's what the kids would describe as a 'shit show'.  So I went into work very, very early and avoided all the drama.  I headed home for lunch and then went for a nice ride after work.  I headed off Columbus to Stockton to North Point to Van Ness to Francisco to Laguna to Chestnut to Lyon and into the Presidio at the Lombard Gate.  I headed over to Arguello and stopped at Jackson for a pic of Sutro Tower:

    I continued on Arguello to Lake to Clement.  This is one of the many pretty commercial buildings on Clement.  I remember we used to get donuts here all the time back in the day when I could stay up past 9PM and I used to go on epic walks in the evening.  How I miss Mr. Nick:

    I continued on Clement and stopped at the beautiful recent Synagogue with it's gorgeous architecture:

    I continued on Clement to 34th to Balboa.  This is a pretty building on Balboa at 41st.  It's seen better days, but it's pretty and it has nice detail:

    I continued on Balboa down to the coast and stopped for pics of the beach:

    Birds!

    I met some poor dog walker whose truck was stolen and was stuck at the beach with ten dogs that wanted to go home.  That totally sucks.  I headed down to JFK and went into Golden Gate Park.  I stopped for a pic of the north windmill:

    I continued on JFK and stopped at the Conservatory of Flowers for a pic:

    Me:

    I headed home for dinner.  Mr. Poe was in a bit of trouble for not being very nice but thankfully he apologized up and down so that was the end of it.  After dinner we got cleaned up and went to bed around 9PM.  Of course.
