Just when I think I’ve found them all, another one pops up to surprise me. Now well into my second year of road cycling all over the topographically adventurous city of San Francisco, “new” routes are continuing to present themselves. As such, I’m happy to report– yet again– that options abound within the city limits for a decent 20-to-30-mile spin.
Who says you have to leave San Francisco to log the mileage? Granted I’ll admit– today I did, hammering out the always satisfying 40-mile Sausalito-Tiberon loop, in reverse for my first time.
Still, despite the obvious obstacles and annoyances of city cycling, I continue to be thrown another decent road to conquer, some with fresh new pavement even! So, don’t think you have to drive out of town with bike in tow to get those legs seriously moving. It’s all right here within San Francisco, if you look. And yes, after this long, I’m still looking!
Thankfully I can say my mileage moved into three digits in this first week of 2012.
