It is the countdown to bathing suit season (i.e. the cruise at the beginning of November) and Frank and I are trying to find ways to 1) lose weight and 2) get excercise on the weekend. The solution is to finally get the bikes we've been talking about and promise to take at least one ride each weekend.
Our first trip was to go from my place, over Pacific Heights, down through the Presidio to Chrissey Field. From there we would head to Fort Point turnaround and head back to Van Ness and complete the loop at my house. Along the way we passed our Mayor, Gavin Newsom, getting in to a limo and ran into some of Frank's Under One Roof friends where we determined when the next camping trip at the Russian River would take place. Good times, except Frank thinks I tried to kill by sending him down a steep hill on his first trip. It's not true. He survived and is a better rider because of it. However, for our next ride, we're going to drive to the ocean and take the bike trail along the ocean and then go around Lake Merced.
