Hello All!
This past Saturday I went on a totally epic bike ride with Aki and Kernel.
At home drunk on Friday night, we came up with an idea to do a lap of the city.
What resulted was 36 miles of pure awesome.

The day started at Alamo Square.
yo.
 |

Followed by wiggling down the wiggle.
 |

Check out Ak-dizzle and this dude.
Athletes!

We then turn down onto Valencia.
In the scene.

The hippest of the hipsters?
Probably.
 |

At Ceasar Chavez and 30th we banged a left.
This was our pivot point for the journey – the goal was to get back here in one piece.
 |

Rolling under the freeway, we ventured out to the more industrial side of SF.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
Arriving to the end of the road.
Literally.

At this point, when we were just circling around on these wide abandoned streets, the stoke was visible.
There was a feeling of random adventure, the kind we used to do as kids, that had overtaken the group.
I wanna feel like this more often.

With the sun intermittently peaking behind these bid ol’ white fluffy clouds, the eastern-side of the city came out in all its glory.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
This is my bike.
Dude.

And this is the Bay!
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
Your tireless blogger, keeping the silly maxed out.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
… More Bay.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
As we crawled around the edge of the city, your riders ventured upon ATT Park.
What a site.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And the yachts.
Damn 1%.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
A little thumbs-up action for the Bay Bridge.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And of course – our favorite Circus in the whole wide world.
TEATRO ZIN ZANI YOOOOOOO!
 |

Fiserman’s Wharf is kinda meh in my opinion – way touristy.
But, ya know what, a lot of ppl come here and love it, so you know what, i aint gonna hate – the spot is alright.

Cruising by the Aquatic Park …
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
Stoking on the blue …
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And then, in all her majesty, the Golden Gate comes into view.
I just can’t get enough of ‘er.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
A quick stop to ponder the meaning of it all.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And then into the old stomping grounds – the Richmond Baby!
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
Dudes, this is where I get a little emotional on you.
Every time I roll by the old pad, I just get so sentimental.
Seriously, 3 and a half years of unbelievable memories …
Cabrillo Street, you are still in our hearts.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And of course, we stop at SP for a brew.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
As well as a chill sesh in the park.

Turning down onto Ocean Beach was raw as fuck though.
No joke, the winds got plain nasty out there.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And your adventurers were freezing something gnar!
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
But then, being the micro-cliamte capitol of the world it is, we turn left and get to a majestically warm Lake Merced.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
And begin our ascent up Ocean Ave homeward.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
… With a quick roll by the Alma Mater.
SF City College W00t!
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
There was a really nice 76 station on the side of the road.
We split a coffee and some snacks.
I rather enjoyed it.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
We then ripped it down Alemany on one of the more fun stretches of road i’ve ever seen.
Also, the street art was dope.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
… Back under the freeway, heading home.
… Pretty haggard.
 |
| From SF Bike Loop |
After nearly 6 hours we’d completed our loop, discovered new spots, and basked in the old ones. What a friggin wonderful way to spend the day. To all my fellow bike adventurers trekking around SF and the cities beyond, stay safe, have a wonderful ride, and be excellent!
