Bay Area Update

I have not posted in a while. The main reason is because my life is on hold for a bit while I heal up from my fall a few weeks ago. I have started to ride a little again in the last few days. I did a short 42 miles with one ride up a nine hundred foot high hill on that ride. I felt pretty good on the ride and after. My knee still swelled up later so I had to ice it for quite a while to get the swelling to go down. I need the swelling to stop soon so I can resume my daily riding. I am thinking about doing a ride all the way around the San Francisco Bay on the Bay Trails. The ride looks to be about a three to four day ride to go all the way around from Berkeley, to San Jose to San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge over to Vallejo and then around the rest of the way back to Berkeley. It looks to be somewhere around 260 miles but not all of it is on bike trails. At least on this ride if i had trouble with my leg I am close to friends or family that could rescue me. The weather has been very nice in the Bay Area lately. September is the best month to be around here. I would like to get some fishing in but I can't afford it at about $150 for a day trip. My arm is also still weak from my fall so I am not sure I could actually fish and land fish. I a considering it though. I love going out to the Farallon Islands about 25 miles outside of the golden gate bridge to go for rockfish and lingcod. Recently there have been lots of whales and other marine mammals around out there to watch while you fish. The Blue Whales are around and they are so huge I love watching them feeding. Then there are the seals and dolphins etc and even big great white sharks come up to the boats once in a while. More updates later...
