such a pretty day






As I was riding home from work today, listening to Beta Band - 3 EP's.  I was overjoyed with the beautiful weather and how lucky I am to live in the Bay Area. My bike ride is pretty stellar, it is all along the waterfront. I tried to give  a glimpse of how cool it is, but the pictures don't do it justice. Here is a perfect weekend ride: 
a. start at the ramp, have brunch or lunch, maybe even a cold pint..it is a good place to start and is on the water, it will get you ready for the lovely ride. Follow Mariposa across Third St, at your next light on your right is The Ramp. 
b. after brunch go down along the water towards Kelly's Mission Rock, stay along the water and not the road.
c. cut around the cove by the ball park and stay on the third street bridge crosswalk. i share it with pedestrians
d. cut around the ball park - backside - by the marina. 
e. you will now enter the embarcadero, from here you can ride all along until you feel like you need to rest.
f. some good end zones are: ghiradelli sq, stop at the steps and watch tourists or turn left on bay street and follow until you get to crissy field.  You can also get to Crissy field by staying on the path past Ghiradelli Sq. You will go up a hill and through the park, a very nice way as well.
