Saturday I managed to get myself out of bed and I went for a great ride. I thought I’d posted a ride on the Different Spokes calendar and hadn’t gotten any interest which isn’t unusual for longer rides especially this time of year. But I ran into super cute David Sexton in Sausalito and he pointed out that in fact I’d posted that ride for tomorrow which I have an ALC conflict for. Which is totally something I would do. I ended up going for a little bit of a longer ride than I’d originally intended and it was a very good day. I headed to Petaluma and then went home through Novato. I got in my first century of the year and I’m happy about that. I felt pretty good but I was got very tired in the last 20 or so miles and I was concerned that I was gonna get a ticket for impersonating a corpse. The west side of the bridge is closed again and it’s a big pain in the ass with all the bikes and pedestrians on the east side but it isn’t nearly as busy as it was in the summer and I think it’s gonna be OK. I’ve put the same ride on the Calendar for next week– I got the day right this time. Here’s hoping for good weather.
I got some nice shots of the city from the Golden Gate Bridge on my way to Marin:
