When the ride showed up I noted that people I knew really well were leading and old friends were everywhere in the group. We saw a few people from the Midnight Mystery Ride. I saw a few people who had moved away and a few people from my neighborhood – all from my neighborhood.
The ride headed over to Hugo and into Haight Street. My phone wasn’t letting me take pictures. We passed Gold Cane and then we descended into the Lower Haight. Haight Street going down to Divisadero is steep and dangerous.
We picked up a few random people rolling through The Wiggle. One lady had a bike share bike and I said she was cool. I literally nearly lost my beer. We went through Hayes Valley, Civic Center, climbed up to O’Farrell and headed over to Grant Street. One of the riders got knocked off of his bike by a motorist there and everyone took pictures
We went to Washington Square. An acquaintance bummed five dollars off of me because he had a desire for Golden Boy Pizza. I chatted with a geologist and a bunch of people from my neighborhood. There was this one lady with a Yuba cargo bike which had interesting hoops on the back.
The sprinklers came on so we all rode to ferry building apparently One of my favorite riders fell off of his bike and his partner took him home. We basically said bye then and went home.
This is an occasional series chronicling my life. This Notebook Analysis series is meant to be contemporaneous piece developed as an agglomeration of my notebook pages. In each of these posts I used my notes to develop my recent thoughts.
