To the tower...

As summer comes to an end and fall approaches, I am losing precious sunlight. By the time I leave work, the late-afternoon shadows crawl around the buildings downtown. This is a problem for me. I don't have as much time to ride before it gets dark & more dangerous. But i've found a great route which allows me to practice hill climbing & still get home before the sun goes down.

Yesterday I left from 2nd & Market, and went all the way to Sutro tower. Long hill climb, but great view from the top.

Today I will be doing the same hill, but then riding to the beach afterwards.

Saturday is going to be very important--65 miles, 4000 feet of climbing. I'm a little nervous about this one...but know I can do it.
