    Thursday I worked from home. Which wasn't good because I only wanted to take a day off the bike this week and I ended up taking three. Bad Joseph! Friday I came into work down Market. I hate doing that, but I kind or spaced out and missed my turn and was already at Gough before I realized I'd go…
  • No Eclipsing

    Back to Northwest rain from San Francisco fog. Got to extend the business trip a couple days and rent an electric motorcycle. The Brammo Enertia is fun but not as awesome as a supermoto in SF.

    I worked from home on Monday and Tuesday and stayed off the bike. Wednesday was my CAT2 training ride and I had two riders show up. We headed up to Marin Headlands first. Here are John and Kevin at the top: Then we headed to Tiburon and then around Paradise Loop. Then we headed around Parad…

    Sunday was my CAT2 ride out to Lucas Valley and then Point Reyes Station. It was a little difficult before we left the Sports Basement. Park of training involves pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, but one of the riders is pushing himself past the point of good sense and likely his health.…
  • Why Hire a Security Guard?

    Owning a business can be very stressful, and there are a lot of things that can go wrong in the blink of an eye. How is a business owner supposed to stay focused on maintaining profits if they have to worry about vandalism, fire, theft, and property damage? Most businesses have some sort of keyed en…

    Saturday was the monthly Different Spokes ride out to Tiburon. It didn't leave until 9:00 AM which allowed me to sleep way the hell in and only show up when I was glamorous, rested and ready. My first surprise was that Wanderson had showed up for the ride. Let's be clear about this: there is no…

    Thursday was 'bike to work day' which on one hand is a great idea that I fully support and on the other hand is a huge pain in the ass for people who always bike to work because of all of the extra bikes on the road. I chose routes to and from work that completely avoided popular commuting routes.…

    I was pleasantly surprised on Wednesday when I heard the news that President Obama has finally come it support of gay marriage but I'm a little puzzled about the timing. I don't for a second think that anybody in Washington ever does anything because of their conscience nor do I believe that Joe Bi…

    Monday after work I headed off Sutter to Fillmore to Clay to Spruce to Washington. I stopped for a pic of my favorite view of the north bay: I continued on Washington to Cherry to Arguello to Lake to 23rd to Cabrillo to 47th to Fulton to the Great Highway. I stopped for a few pics of a rare g…

    My back felt better this morning than it had in a couple of weeks. Thank you, hot tub! Monday I managed to make it out of the house early enough to get a little ride in before work. I headed off Corbett to Portola to Fowler to Teresita to Isola to Rockdale to Omar to Sequoia to Bella Vista to Bur…
