US Trip
|
Got back from San Francisco on friday after a great fortnight. Didn't do
as much biking as I'd have liked as the work part dragged on, but what I
did was excellent. If you get the chance to go, once you're out of the
cities and off the beaten track the roads are great. Quiet, challenging

I'm going to SF at the end of the month.
|
Let me know if you fancy a pint.
|
I certainly will. I think it's the 31st that I'll be there.

|
Have a good trip! Get out on a bike if you can :)

Unlikely, to be honest. The San Francisco Jazz Festival is on, though,
so I will try to get to a gig.
|
I'll not forgive you if you're that close when it's on and fail. I'm
sure that won't bother you, but thought I'd mention it all the same.

Well, I've been to it twice before, and there's not really a lot this

and for the most part well surfaced.
A couple of exceptions to the last in the Marin area were the only
downer. Riding in a cloud on a twisty, bumpy as f*ck road with added
rockfalls trying to hang on to an ex racer on a TZR, while trying not to
drop my mate's R1 was "challenging". However once we got out of the
clouds the coast road was great and I could happily enjoy myself a bit more.
Touring the city on the bike was a great way to get around and see the
obligatory sights as well for half a day when the weather was a bit iffy.
Two asides:
Commuting on a sportsbike isn't so bad after all, I might change the
Fazer this year for an R1/GSX-R.
My mate took me to have a look around web-search's campus which was
interesting in a "aren't we clever and successful" way. I must admit
they do seem to sort their employees out but I'm not sure I'd switch the
work ethic and cost of living for a free canteen and a couple of fleeces :)
