    Sunday I had a Different Spokes ride on the calendar but nobody rsvp'd so I slept in and headed out on my bike a little later in the day.  I'd thought about doing Lucas Valley but it was gonna be really hot so I thought I should head out to the coast.  I went to Fairfax and then out to Samuel P Taylor park.  The park is super pretty and I got a couple pics:

    I headed to Olema and then south on the one.  There are always a bunch of 'eek!' moments on the one because the road is pretty narrow and cars pass you way too close.  But I managed.  Right before at the top of Olema Valley is a beautiful grove of Eucalyptus.  I got a nice pic:

    From there I dropped down to Bolinas Lagoon.  The tide was in and it looked fantastic:

    I headed into Stinson and stopped for snack.  Me:

    Then I started the long as climb out of Stinson.  I took a bunch of pics as I headed toward Mill Valley.  The beach was packed:

    I think this is called Redrock beach.  It was full of naked people playing frisbee.  I love California:

    You can see San Francisco in the background:

    This is the view looking down to Muir Beach from the top of the canyon right before the drop into Mill Valley starts:

    I headed into Mill Valley and had lunch at Cafe Del Soul which was awesome and I loved it.  Then I headed back to San Francisco.  I went through Fort Baker and stopped for a few pics.  Perfect day:

    I headed over the bridge and started heading home.  Some Swiss guy asked me directions and I ended up taking him into Japantown because I didn't like the idea of him riding Geary from Arguello to Union Square.  My good deed for the day.  I got home around 5PM and I hung out with Mr. Poe.  I went to bed at 8PM.  I would have gone to bed earlier but I forced myself to stay up.

    My YTD bike mileage hit 6,000 today and I'm really happy about that.  I'm really wanting to him my 8k goal this year.
