Great preview for Presidio Tour

Thanks to friends for coming out for the preview of my Presidio Bike Tour last Sunday. I hope we get half as much sun for next month's tour! I'm cutting back the tour a bit - 10 miles and 11 stops was just a bit too much.

Presidio Bike Tour - Preview this weekend

I'm looking forward to guiding friends in the Presidio on Sunday for a tour by bike. We'll be checking out a bunch of the changes happening in the Presidio. This tour will give me practice for a bike tour next month that's open to the public. I've got 11 stops planned, to take a look at the changes happening. Here are three of the topics that have caught my attention (the photos are from various sites - not the places the tour is stopping):

Re-planting of historic forests

shown: stand of Monterey Cypress near Lover's Lane

Rehabilitation of historic buildings

Demolition and rebuilding of paths, streets, and highways

Lucca and Luisa at 9 months

Our two girls are doing well and getting along like the best of friends.

Susan Vaughan at Streetsblog posted a piece today about poor work by some of DPW's contractors. The work she described is just like this bad job done this spring at the Broderick-Hayes intersection.

Health Reform - Outline from "Tri-committee" released

An outline of a health reform proposal (click for pdf) is available from the Ways and Means Committee. It would expand community health centers and boost the pathways that lead to careers in primary care, among other good stuff.
