Wow cannot believe how fast this year is flowing by. Today’s first found me on two wheels above the fog, riding through what may be heaven..

Day 93. Always more details to soak in even along a familiar path..
(have soaked in this view on my road bike trekking up Hawk Hill from the Golden Gate..morning was a neat for layer during climb, clear skies on the descent..) Took five minutes today at the top of my Marin Headlands ride to read a sign I have cycled by plenty of times. As I staredContinue reading “Day 93.

Day 92 – talkin’ my way past the guard. sometimes just relating human – human gets you a long way!

Unexpected first en route to a planned first (was trying to find a short cut to St. Francis of Assisi Church when I stumbled upon Ina Coolbrith Park in North Beach.. Poet’s Corner.) **kind of wild – see picture toward the end, I share a birthday with Ina! Granted her March 10th was in 1841, and mineContinue reading “Day 91”
