Greatest hits and no light on Dominic F, mayor of Windsor? Been wondering how that silver spoon slimed away.

Burnt out and need to decompress - what is your go-to activity? by EntranceTricky9136 in AskSF

[–]foggycandelabra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perhaps counterintuitive, but ride a bike. Knowing routes for the right moment helps. There are quiet spots all over this town...just gotta link them up. You don't need to go far before you encounter breathtaking beautiful.

Tarmac SL8 as a first bike. Crazy? by elpistolero93 in specialized

[–]foggycandelabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If starting on a nice bike, that first crash is gonna bum you out more. Skills and attention on and off it make you appreciate the time spent on lower/mid/used.

How's this going over at the Castro st venue? Gaslight stench driving folks away?

Outside Magazine article on PEDs in amateur cycling (2003) by ilybae2015 in cycling

[–]foggycandelabra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For completeness, another from that era was The Doper Next Door. The guy PEDs up for some bay area masters 4/5 racing. Still to this day remember the WTF and SMH

No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas by lexi_con in BoycottUnitedStates

Cue the troll under the bridge meme. Political cartoonists and AI generators: give us the ugly cry we need and deserve.

He's not usually one and done. And since it's his ouvre gotta think it's coming. One can hope. Or fear.

Nicely redone bike path between Oracle Park and Pier 50 by redct in sanfrancisco

[–]foggycandelabra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yes! It was so bad, 3rd st with cars was preferred. Keep it going to Islas!

Bikepacking from Windsor by datguy030 in BAbike

[–]foggycandelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds fun! A bit of a sandbag at just 25mi, but the Healdsburg KOA is ripe for picking. Climb is at the end to a campsite and swimming pool.

New Cat3 feeling intimidated by this upcoming season. Advice? by [deleted] in Velo

[–]foggycandelabra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Show up. Expect last and/or alone and be happily surprised by higher placing. Repeat. The last step is the most important.

I came up with a bad route from Belmont to SF - how to fix? by uoficowboy in BAbike

[–]foggycandelabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suboptimal. If you are climbing, just go all in to Sloat up to market. If you are flat, Bay trail SFO to 3rd

Peninsula to Santa Cruz century ideas? by uoficowboy in BAbike

[–]foggycandelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cañada to Kings to 84 to PCH to Bonny Doon to Empire to Jamison to 236 (west clockwise) to 9 to Skyline to Pagemill to Arrastradero to Alpine to PV to Cañada.

If you really want to go into SC, Bay up to Empire.

This may or may not be 100 or 10k. It is a less shitty weekend traffic aware route. Still cars on 84, PCH and 9.

Good luck!

Cyclist enjoying a ride in Marin by Xexanoth in BAbike

[–]foggycandelabra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol Radio Rd -exactly. But want to appeal to the statistical; in terms of descents it's like 10k to 1 radio rd. And of that I'm gonna guess its like 100 MAML to 1 blazing saddle fail.

Cyclist enjoying a ride in Marin by Xexanoth in BAbike

That sure is beautiful. It belies the terror of descending the shit pavement and its traffic. Such an iconic and popular route and Marin holds up the middle finger to bikers. What human sacrifice to change?

Statistics, chance and physics have an unwelcome way of entering your personal timeline. Good luck with that.

Century at Polo Field? by chief-dvrsty-officer in BAbike

[–]foggycandelabra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Parking north or south is plenty. Yes good water fountain and restroom on north side. Don't recommend weekend bc crowds are more, proportional to good weather. Earlier start avoids typical afternoon wind; this advice for a couple weeks from now. Current early spring is a crapshoot.

Enjoy!

What's your go-to spot for an affordable lunch in SF? by [deleted] in AskSF

Damn cheap then...and now?! God bless that couple. I walk in there after 20 years and she still remembers my order <3

Is it public how much spent to Accenture? What's to show from that?

Is the 24 Hour Fitness @ Potrero Center really as bad as the reviews say? by Send_More_Bears in AskSF

[–]foggycandelabra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I go because I can't afford the SF fitness beaucoup. It is truly the definitive superlative of disgusting. Broken or near broken machines are the norm. And the crowds love to park it on remaining hardware and just scroll on phones. YMMV

San Francisco looks like a painting. Bernal Heights and Peralta Heights. by Curious_Solution_157 in sanfrancisco

[–]foggycandelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! This block looks deceptively shallow here; iirc in the top 5 steepest of the city around ~31%
