    I headed home on my bike Tuesday and had to fix a flat tire while I was there.  I had pulled the valve out of the stem of my back tire on my commuter that morning and just grabbed a different bike instead of fixing it then.  I changed it and headed back to work on my commuter bike.  The weather was gorgeous and I went for a nice ride after work.  I headed of Washington to Stockton to Pacific to Fillmore to Jackson.  This is the view looking down Pierce from Jackson towards the Marina.  Perfect:

    I continued on Jackson to Broderick to Washington.  This gorgeous portal is on Washington at Maple.  Fabulous:

    I continued on Washington to Arguello to Lake to 8th and into Golden Gate Park.  I headed through the Music Concourse and stopped for a pic.  It was pretty foggy in the park so it wasn't so spectacular:

    I got on MLK into 9th to Judah to 87th into Laguna Honda to Dewey to Claremont to Portola to Santa Clara.  I stopped for a couple pics of a gloomy Saint Francis Wood:

    I continued on Santa Clara into Monterey and got another flat, this time on my front tire. When I went to change it I noticed what terrible condition that tire is in.  My rear tire doesn't look so great either so I'm not gonna ride my commuter bike until I can get it worked on next week.  I was running late because I had to stop so I headed home more or less directly.  I took El Verano to Rosewood to Ravenwood to Miraloma to Portola to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner.  Mr. Poe had just gotten home so I had to walk the dogs after dinner and then we went to bed.  Long day.
