Thursday I came into work Market to 14th to Folsom to 2nd to Market to Sansome and into work. I headed home for lunch and went for a nice ride after work. I headed off 2nd to Howard to 11th into Bryant to Precita to Mission to Richmond to Leese to Crescent to Agnon to Justin to Murray and into St. Mary’s Park. The playground there is recently redone and looks fantastic:
Below that is a nice big dog park that always seems to be scantily attended:
I used the footbridge to cross the 280 and then took Cambridge to Bacon. The big water reservoir in the Portola District used to be a farm There are a couple of remnants. The first is the farmhouse which is now an administrative building:
I continued on Bacon to Hamilton where I had a look at the other remnant of the old farm. The old greenhouses which make a gorgeous ruin:
Still lots of roses in there:
I took Woolsey to San Bruno and got a a pic of San Bruno Mountain from around Somerset:
I continued on San Bruno to Bayshore to Visitacion and up into McLaren Park where it was very, very foggy. I got on Mansell and stopped for a pic where there would be a grand view of downtown if it wasn’t so foggy.
I continued on Mansell into Persia to Ocean to Alemeny to Roussea to Still to Lyell to Bosworth to Milton to San Jose to Duncan to valencai. I stopped at 22nd for a pic of the fog rolling in:

I continued on 18th. This is Mission High at 18th and Dolores:

I continued on 18th to Douglass to 17th to Ord and home for dinner. This ride had a whole lot of climbing and I’m a little out of shape because I’ve been so lazy all summer(hangs head in shame). It totally kicked my ass and I was in bed before 8PM.
