Perfect

24 Oct

A sunny, warm and crowded Dolores Park.

Surrounding destinations called, but I did not answer.  On such a gloriously warm and sunny weekend as that which just passed, my decision was quite an easy one.  I chose to stay right here in the city all weekend long, close to home, enjoying the beautiful outdoors for the welcome heat that’s always so rare and unpredictable, and for which we usually must travel elsewhere.

Now on this Monday, as fog rolls in and a crisp breeze picks up, this past weekend could very well be the last of its kind we see for quite a while.  All the more reason to have appreciated a perfect Saturday and Sunday here in late October, as so many did.  This is San Francisco, after all!

Bridge to Bridge Shift

02 Jun

Now into my eighth month of living in the City by the Bay, I continue to be impressed not only by interesting “new” cycling climbs still being discovered – as was the case around Bernal Heights Park this morning – but also by how very, VERY quickly the weather here changes.

Quite a shift it was today, no doubt.  As I pedaled out of Bernal Heights and headed north past AT&T Park toward the Bay Bridge, my jersey, shorts and gloves were very wet from the drizzle that had turned into rainfall.  The sky remained gray overhead well after the drops ceased.  Then, merely minutes later when I reached the Golden Gate, clear blue sky dominated the view.  By this time my bicycle, clothing – and body – were dry.

From one bridge to another, today’s weather shifted faster than some of my gears!  I’d add this to the list of great reasons to live in San Francisco, if it weren’t on there already.
