While on my bicycle ride at Bayfront Park on San Pablo Bay there were some pelicans. I never seen pelicans out here. Was great to see.

My after work bicycle ride is the best time of the day. The weather was warm but I’m enjoying it while I can. The cold weather is right around the corner.

A woman rode up on her bicycle and told me she hasn’t been on the bike in fifteen years. The new Pinole Shores to Bayfront Park trail got her back on the bike. That is the good thing, getting people on their bikes.

Just pedal on.

Some days it is hard to get motivated to hop on the bike. Lack of sleep and when I wake up I look out the window and the fog is here. The fog has a name, Karl. Yep, it has been Fogtember.

Nothing too crazy for my ride. Off to Barnes and Noble for green tea and a grilled cheese sandwich. Then wandering around looking at books. Didn’t see anything interesting. At least next month the new Haruki Murakami book comes out. Might have to take the day off.It is kind of like a holiday.

Today hardly anyone out. The parking lots were empty and the stores I stopped in were empty. Weird to have the Barnes and Noble Cafe to myself.

Maybe my break at Starbucks in Point Richmond will have to come to a stop. Their food selection is pretty slim on Saturday afternoon.

By the afternoon it started to get hot. So basically chilly in the morning and by the time I got home I was burning up. Life on the bike.

Still it was a fun time pedaling around.

Finally the new Pinole Shores to Bayfront Park bike/walk path opened on 12 September 2018.

It is a nice path. Has a bridge to go over the railroad tracks so it is a little uphill. There are good views of the bay and seats to relax and enjoy the view.

It is so nice not to have to ride on San Pablo Ave. I can pedal at a slow speed and not get in the way.

I can ride longer after work and have to worry about beating traffic. Only have to worry about walkers and joggers which isn’t much of a problem.

I might have to add Friday bike rides now. Ride four days, two days gym and one day hiking. Sounds like a good plan. My schedule would look like this:

Mon & Tues; bike ride, Wed & Thurs: gym, Fri & Sat: bike ride and Sun: Hike.

The new bike/walk trail seems like it will work out really nice. So let the pedaling begin.
