19.5 mile ride through Golden Gate park (Bison Paddock!), down Ocean Beach, through Fort Funston, around Lake Merced, and back over the Portola / Miraloma hill.
Biked to the top of San Bruno “mountain” with Dan. 17+ miles round trip and a total climb of over 1,370 ft. When the trail ended at the radio towers we locked up the bikes and continued hiking to the second to last hilltop – great views of the south bay, the Marin headlands, Lake Merced (which in late afternoon was brilliantly golden).
Gonzalo Bergara Quartet at Blue Six Acoustic
Gypsy jazz in a new art gallery / jazz & blues venue – almost as hip as the Muni music on the way.

McNee Ranch & Gray Whale Cove
Dog-friendly local trail (35m drive from Noe) with a gorgeous, almost hidden beach to walk down to and a fun hike up into the mountains.
