I got a bit of Facebook feedback about my comments about an asshole rider who had pissed me off on Wednesday’s training ride. I think everybody realizes how hard it can be to be a training ride leader. Exhausted people can be pretty salty and honestly all of that just rolls right off my back because it’s pretty easy to see that most of it is coming from exhaustion and frustration and we’ve all been there. Back when he was riding, Mr. Poe used to famously go all Linda Blair on me at about mile 70 pretty consistently. I think what really pissed me off about this guy was that he was treating me like a poor performing waiter who was about to get a shitty tip. And I’m just not gonna be treated that way for something I’m volunteering for. The fact that it happened at mile 7 and it was coming from his asshole personality and not exhaustion and frustration just made it worse. Here’s hoping we don’t see him again.
Thursday I came into work Market to Laguna to Post to Kearny to Bush to Sansome. I headed home for lunch and then went for a nice ride after work. I rode 2nd to Townsend to Kansas to 17th to Potrero to 23rd to Bryant to Precita to Mission to Silver to Alemeny to Geneva to Ocean to Lee. I stopped for pics of the pretty new building going up at Ocean and Lee:
Me:
I love this sign. Beep’s has pretty good reviews on Yelp, but it looks way to dive-y for me to take Mr. Poe to. Still, I’m 100% in favor of the sign:
I took Lee to Holloway to Junipero Serra to Cerritos and stopped for a pic of the sunset:
It was clear enough to see the Farralons!
I took Cerritos to Mercedes to Cedro to Moncada and stopped for a pic of these fantastic houses:
I continued on Moncada to Paloma to Ocean to San Benito to Saint Francis to Santa Clara to Portola to Claremont to Dewey to Laguna Honda into 7th to Hugo to 3rd to Frederick to Cole to Parnassus to Clayton to Corbett to Ord and home for dinner. Mr. Poe has the cold I had last week and is blaming me for it. We had dinner and I watched some TV and went to bed.
