San Pablo/Richmond Bicycle Ride

Nice path to Davis Park all the way to Rumrill Blvd. This is great because I can ride and keep off the street. Nice to ride and not have to worry about cars.

The new designed back entrance to the Richmond BART station.

Stopped here to get some snacks. Always nice to be able to stop for a snack break.

Point Richmond is always a fun place to ride to. I like it because the ride is flat. But I have to remember to not always ride flats. Then when I do have to ride hills I will really suffer. Not that I’m the greatest hill rider.

Stopped at Starbucks. They have a great chicken wrap. Got some reading in and a cup of coffee before the ride home.

I love the new trail in Point Pinole that allows me to ride to Richmond Parkway and connect to the bike path to Point Richmond. Always sucked that a portion of Richmond Parkway would not allow bicycles and ruined a great way to get to Point Richmond. Now everything is good.

The bike infrastructure is slowly coming along which is great. It is great when people have the option to hop on their bike and go to other cities or to meet up with friends and not have to get into their car and then find parking.

At least now people don’t throw things at bicyclist now. This was common when I was bicycle riding in the late eighties and nineties. Now drivers will just honk at you. Unfortunately some bicyclist will get hit. One reason I like bike/walk paths. 

It was a chilly day or was it cold? I guess it would depend on the person but to me it was chilly. When I left my house it was forty degrees. Usually when I get riding I will warm up so the temperature doesn’t bother me. 

The rain hasn’t made a big appearance so I’m able to get some nice rides in. As I said before I’m not a fan of riding in the rain. I would probably ride in the rain more if it rained a lot but it doesn’t so I just won’t do it. I did enough rain riding in Misawa Japan. It rains a lot there.

Now I can rest because Christmas day I don’t have to work and I can go on a ride before the family get together. Personally I would rather ride all day.
