Coming down the hill from the house. Objective in sight, 18.9 miles away. The ride goes way back out of picture right, over the GG bridge and into the city.
Early morning cruise along the bike path. The bridge is visible over Richardson Bay. A quick ride into Mill Valley, where the local wildlife is out in force on the bike path, if you know what I mean. The scenery is pretty good on this ride.
Gets even better as you get into Sausalito on the waterfront. 
A quick but stout climb up Fort Baker makes the kid break a sweat.
Some orange bridge I gotta cross
Then into the city, where the buildings look funny.
Past the cruise ships and tourists.
Along the Embarcadero, past the SF Ferry building (where I can catch the boat home if I'm bailing out on the return trip). Nice view of the Bay Bridge along the way.
And then I arrive at the office, almost exactly an hour after I start pedaling.
In the afternoon, I reverse the ride on the way home. The ride back to the the bridge is generally very windy, with the afternoon gales blowing into the Golden Gate. The famous San Francisco fog is never too far away and always seems to come back in after being away for only a couple of hot days. Sure enough on this day, by the time I got back up to the house, she was coming back in to say hello.
