We are having beautiful weather here in the SF Bay Area, and today was no exception. Bikingshearer extended a late-inning invite to go for a ride, and as luck would have it I had nothing better to do.

We did a relatively short ~30 mile loop up Skyline and back, and got treated to stunning views of the bay while meeting friendly folks the whole day long. I got to go down Pinehurst (a new descent for me), and that was a a real treat rolling through a cool redwood forest.

Topped off with a nice lunch with BS and his charming "SO", and the day was complete:

A little of what we saw:

First vista:


Mt Diablo in the distance:


Oakland, San Francisco, The Bay Bridge, and The Golden Gate Bridge:


A cute little car:


The Golden Gate and Alcatraz in the distance:


A fun little scooter:


Hairpins coming down Pinehurst:
