The topology of bike rides. Out and backs. Loops. Lollipops. Barbells? This ride had a loop at both ends.
The Great Highway is the simplest route north and south in the Sunset, particularly on weekends when it’s closed to cars. It’s always flat; sometimes it’s windy.
Then the route climbs up past the Cliff House and the Sutro Baths, past the VA Hospital, and up to the Legion of Honor, before dropping down through the upscale Seacliff neighborhood and past Baker Beach. Then it’s up again toward the Golden Gate Bridge. There’s plenty of traffic, much of it tourists, but there are also good bike lanes. The views are great.
The Presidio is a maze of roads and there were plenty of bicyclists, of all types, enjoying Saturday rides. I guess you could just do loops completely within the Presidio all day, but for me it was a place to push off the far end and start riding back to Lake Merced.
The freeway leading to and from the Golden Gate Bridge used to be a dangerous, undivided elevated structure running through the Presidio of San Francisco, a former military base now turned national park.
The freeway is now a parkway that runs partially at ground level including two tunnel sections providing new open park space with pathway and unspoiled views.
The first of Tunnel Tops parks is completely open with the larger one connecting the main post is almost done and opens in July.

Ho un'urgenza, urgenza di poter scrivere tutto ciò che mi passa per la testa in questo periodo non troppo facile.
Piove governo ladro! Piove e non ho assolutamente voglia di nulla, questa notte ho pensato ad una canzone degli offlaga disco pax e ad una possibile variazione sul tema di un pezzo.
