• Tuesday gone

    “I see bunnies“ “You see what?” “It says siggy’>”,  … I snapped off the shot and continued on through the San Francisco streets.

  • San Frondo

    One Monday I set out to do what I coined as the San Frondo. It all started out innocent enough.  Just go up the street and see what was up there.  I found Buena Vista Park and a high point. It was jungle like and I found some solitude soaking in the mid day sun.…

  • An old friend

    Point Six is an old friend of mine.  Tonight as I spun up the last segment I was thinking about the friends that I have climbed it with.  The last time I was up here Jill and I were riding together. But I am not going to blog about specific friends and their specific qualities. …

  • Odd things that kill

    The horror was happening again an I fully blamed myself. When I was a kid I was doing the “odd thing” and pulling my dog in a wagon down main street Roundup Scotty bolted from it. All because another dog charged from the sidewalk. Scotty was struck and died in my arms as the driver…

  • Micro trash

    We were done hiking and my friend wanted to show me something interesting on top of Mount Tam. “This would be a cool place for a cross race”, I announced. “I mean, look at all the obsticles, pavement, and there is a cool run up over there”, I pointed to a dirt mound. It could…

  • Sometimes you want to puke

    I was plucked from the San Fran streets. I was found eating butter somewhere on Scott Street. Soon I was in Marin having a awesome coffee with awesome people discussing what to do next.  It was determined that e would climb Mount Tamalpais in a car and then do a small loop near the summit.…

  • Adventure happens

    Tonight I went for a ride to only have it end a little sooner then I thought (got a king of the hill). What did I do?  So I kept going.  Then an adventure happened. Today’s photos are from last Sunday. My partner and I arrived at a place called Sports Base in San Fran. …

  • Shafthouse

    My friend Jill brought to my attention Strava.  Thanks a lot Jill. Anyway I have always wanted to do the shaft house ride and today I am still kind of lonely so what better place to bike pout. Well I am glad to say mission complete.  I went I rode and I pouted.  And now…

  • Bachelor

    I spent the day pouting.  To quill the pain I did 2 ice sessions and then a core workout.  I just got back from a bike pouting ride out to the Bridgers and back.  No I really am tired and don’t give a hoot.  Pouting works. Last week today I was on my own batching…

  • Last best time

    We only have been in San Francisco for around 4 hours before we were whisked away to the Marin area for a hike. I know now how valuable this hike was but at the time it was the beginning of the weekend and I had so much to look forward to.  Sometimes you look back…

  • The Fall and Rise

    September 22, 2012 – The Day I Felt Fallen Today feels different, like a leaf that’s drifted away from its tree, lying on the ground, waiting for the next gust of wind. It’s September 22, 2012, and I’m engulfed in a feeling I can best describe as “fallen.” The plan was grand – a journey…

  • What makes a good friend

    I feel like a bad friend. I go visiting and end up pouting most of the time.  Why pout?  I miss someone…pure and simple. I know, childish, highschoolish, or just plain weak. When asked what my goals were for my vacation I came up with nothing.  So what does a good friend do?  Suggest a…

  • Feeling fat

    Moving from San Fran to Los Altos I am feeling a little more in my element. Which is to say on two wheels. And while Jill was riding her Element (Rocky Mountain Fully) I was aboard a fatty. There is this local hill climb that goes up something like 2,500 feet from a particular intersection…

  • Men in dresses

    I had a big blog post about my experience watching my first San Fran cross race. I am not about to re-create it after 3 attempts at posting to only have something go wrong in the blog-o-sphere. Here is the short story, to be expanded, on yesterday. Attempted San Frondo II, Missed two major checkpoints,…

  • San Frando idea

    I have this idea for a hike around San Fran. First I will hike to the top of Buena Vista and make plans from there. I don’t know exactly what i am about to do only that i need to do something. The story will evolve … and in ti?me I will post it here…

  • No coffee day

    Got up early today to say goodbye to my partner in crime for two weeks. Kind of wondering around now and dont know what to do. I missed my morning yak coffee due to the stresses of renting a vehicle and driving it directly through the heart of San Fran.  And I havent eaten all…

  • In San Fran

    There will be time later to blog on individual adventures so I just want to post a quickie photo from where we went hiking today with our friend leah. I think maybe it is called Mount Tam-pa-licious … or something like that. A trail new to me. Expect more on this later … as always…o/o

  • Walking the plank

    I am at the airport waiting for our flight. My girlfriend has gone off to find water. You know there are no liquids allowed at the super secret gate entrance. Then once inside you scramble to get a container filled. All a part of walking the plank here at MSO. Tonights itinerary is to travel…
