I took a nice cycle ride on Wednesday... Hopped the train with the Fatboy Comp
Carbon here in Santa Clara and exitted in Redwood City.

I met a friend there for lunch. Afterwards, I let Google Maps guide me back
down the Peninsula towards Mountain View. I had it set to cycling and it took
me through a marvelously twisty and fun route that I'd never have dreamed up
myself. I stopped several times to make a photo when the light and the scene
moved me.
First, at the edge of Menlo Park and Palo Alto, there was this giraffe:

After that, I crossed over the US 101 highway complex at the Arastradero maze
using the very long pedestrian bridge there and headed out on the Bay Trail. It
was a lovely day out and the trail was completely empty when I was there, the
first time that's happened on the rides I've taken there.

This trail goes way out onto the edge of SF Bay, and can take you onto dirt
around east of Moffet Field, but I didn't want to go that way. Hopping back
over US 101 via another pedestrian bridge, and then wiggling through one
neighborhood after another, I found myself right back at one of my favorite
cafe's in downtown Mountain View, Dana Street Roasting Company. These chairs
begged to be photographed, the light was stunning in rich contrasts.

From there to home is a (mostly boring) pretty straight shot down Evelyn and
onto Monroe, about 8 miles or so long. I didn't stop again to make any photos
in that section, I just pounded pedals and flew as it is slightly downhill most
of the way… :)
All told, it was 27 miles on that run at 11.8 mph average speed. I pummeled
down 1400 calories of pedaling... It was great! All photos made with the Leica
CL fitted with Voigtländer 10mm f/5.6.
onwards, always onwards!
