Day 191: Spending Time in the City

I had the pleasure of spending time in the city today with a friend. We meandered all around the city including the Presidio, the Castro, the Mission, and then over to the Bayview district to hang out at my new favorite nursery, the Flora Grubb Gardens. What a cool spot, and such a great idea.

I haven’t been to the city with the sole purpose of just hanging out with a friend and checking out the neighborhood fun for years. Many of the neighborhoods have changed significantly since the last time that I’d visited them. For example, seeing high end restaurants on 3rd street just floored me.

I basically did the same ride today that I’d done yesterday. I wanted to see how much of the ride that I'd missed due to all of the mud and sand that was being slung into my eyes as we rode yesterday. I forgot to mention in yesterday's posting that the guy that I was riding with went off the side of the trail when he could no longer see. Today was completely different. It wasn’t beautiful out, but it wasn’t raining, and it wasn’t too cold either, so that worked out great for me.
