My back felt better this morning than it had in a couple of weeks. Thank you, hot tub! Monday I managed to make it out of the house early enough to get a little ride in before work. I headed off Corbett to Portola to Fowler to Teresita to Isola to Rockdale to Omar to Sequoia to Bella Vista to Burlwood to Los Palmos to Hazelwood to Brentwood where I stopped for some pics. City College:
Me:
I took Brentwood to Valdez. This is the view looking down pretty Valdez St:
I continued on Valdez to Monterey to San Jose to Duncan to Valencia to 22nd. I stopped and got a pic looking down Mission:
I continued on 22nd to Folsom where I enjoyed the fabulous new bike lane on Folsom that goes all the way to 20th now. I like! I took Folsom to 2nd to Market to Sansome and into work. Where I found out that I’d accidentally gotten somebody’s cable stuck in my lock when I left on Thursday and they cut it off with a bolt cutter on Friday morning. Ugh. That totally sucks first because it was an expensive lock but mostly because I feel really badly that somebody had to go to so much work to get their bike because of me. Sorry!
I headed home for lunch and I noticed a distinct marijuana smell at about 5th St where these two people– late forties early fifties– were smoking this ENORMOUS JOINT as they drove their way up Market in their minivan. Bike and car traffic tends to go at about the same pace on Market because of all the buses and lights so I watched them smoke it and smoke it and smoke it some more– they must have finished at about Van Ness. When I caught up to them at Gough they were ROCKING OUT to whatever music they were listening to. It was all highly amusing to watch.
After lunch I stopped by the tax guy to sign something so they can argue with the state about how I don’t owe them more money and then I dropped off the truck at the garage. It failed the smog test and needs a little work before it passes. I headed back to work Folsom to 2nd to Market to Sansome.
