the weather keeps getting better. san francisco, you’re still my boo.
between the pillars, there’s no wind. and it’s well lit. definitely the new 2min spot, especially at the tip of the ride. this is the route I’ve been doing nightly, when the weather allows.
brisk 23 miles, give or take. I made the map 2 years back, so that’s why it starts out in the richmond, but it’s the same general loop either way. done counter-clockwise, couple hundred feet of elevation change, you can knock it out in about an hour and a half, and it’s perfect for a track bike.

the rain has been on and off for the past week. today, I watched perfect day pass outside while I sat at my desk working. I vowed not to let it go to waste.
I didn’t know you could go behind the pillars at the front of the legion of honor. it’s well-lit, and quite pleasant, actually.
friday couldn’t come any sooner.

tuesday and wednesdays are now off. spent the morning waiting for the ground water to evaporate, leg extensions watching x-files. don’t be hating, it’s a great show. catching up on all 9 seasons, you know what’s up.
legion of honor, looking north, towards downtown san francisco and golden gate bridge. was sunny out today for a change, I can’t wait until it gets warmer. wish the rain would stay away, but apparently it’s coming back tonight.

the weather has been unpredictable over the past couple days. I guess it’s hard predicting precipitation and weather patterns to an exact degree and percentage, but nonetheless, it cleared up this afternoon. thursday will be clear, and friday the rain comes back.
we’ll see what happens. I think I’ll drop off the cannondale track at freewheel hayes to get the bike checked out. haven’t brought it back since they built it up. I think a new pc-7x is in order. and I’ll have them chop the fork down to 1 5mm spacer. delicious.
today was slow at work. legion of honor to compensate.
friday can’t come soon enough.

twin peaks:
legion of honor:
when I initially left my house, I was planning on warming up with mission to market, wiggle, panhandle, through the park to get to 7th and eventually twin peaks – roosevelt – 14th – south van ness – cortland – 3rd – embarcadero – marina greens – crissy – lincoln – legion of honor – clement – skyline – lake merced – skyline – golden gate park – panhandle – home. I’m pretty sure I threw down the map a couple days ago…here we go:
I did do twin peaks, roosevelt to 14th, but didn’t make the right onto south van ness. instead cut pretty much straight, and ran underneath 101 for a bit to division, eventually just making my way to 3rd. I didn’t want to deal with the sketchiness of lower mission, especially at night. that and the multiple intersections with massive muni rails nearly impossible to hop over. finishing legion was a bit of a challenge as usual, but the headwind coming down from skyline was absolutely ridiculous. I didn’t get a chance to swing lake merced, at the bottom left of the map. oh well.
definitely glad it didn’t rain tonight. bananas for dinner!
