Cycling from Palo Alto to Filoli Gardens

california, road biking, sf bayNo comments
With beautiful weather in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was time for a nice bicycle ride to Filoli Gardens. I met up with Alex in Palo Alto, and we started our long ride to Filoli Gardens.

With a strong  Southerly wind forecast (20-25 kts) from iwindsurf.com , I anticipated epic conditions at Crissy Field.  I loaded up the Tesla Model Y with all my gear and started the drive to San Francisco's Crissy Field around 10:00.

There was some heavy traffic, and I arrived at Crissy at 11:30. After finding…

It took just about an hour to reach Noe Valley from our home in San Jose. After meeting Al…

Aerial Arts / New Site Work at Fort Mason

california, sf bay, theaterNo comments
Inna and I purchased tickets to the New Site Work show, scheduled for 17:00, at Fort Mason, as part of the Aerial Arts festival. The show was initially recommended to me by ChatGPT but turned out to be highly disappointing. I found the stunts a bit amateurish. What “New Site Work” actually was The 5 PM program consisted of two newly commissioned site-responsive works : Veronica Blair / EleKtric Body …
