    Tuesday I managed to get in a nice ride before work.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the Coast.  I headed down the Great Highway and stopped at the foot of Sloat for pics of the beach.  They've moved in a LOT of sand to shore up the seawall since last I was here:

    Those metal crowd control barriers are where the seawall used to be:

    Looking south towards Devil's Slide:

    I continued on the Great Highway to Skyline and stopped for a nice pic of Lake Merced:

    I took Skyline to Lake Merced to Fonto to Holloway to Harold to Ocean to Phelan.  I stopped for a pic of the fabulous Benny Bufano sculpture that sits in front of beleaguered City College which is nearly bankrupt and may lose its accreditation.  Say it ain't so!:

    I continued on Phelan to Judson to Gennessee to Hearst to Edna to Monterey to San Jose to Duncan to Valencia to 17th to Kansas to Townsend to 2nd to Market to Sansome and into work.  I'd planned on going to the gym over lunch but I forgot to bring clothes so I headed home instead and then went to the gym after work.  Verdict:  much too crowded then.  After I headed 2nd to Howard which was a huge mistake because the Salesforce conference at Moscone Center has Howard blocked off between 2nd and 3rd so I took Hawthorne to Harrison to 18th.  I stopped for a pic of fabulous Mission High:

    I continued on 18th to Douglass to 17th to Ord and home for dinner.  Mr. Poe had to work late again so I was responsible again for feeding both myself and the dogs.  Mr. Poe got home at about 8:30 and we went to bed.  I was beat.
