Casual city loop that accidentally almost became a Hawk Hill ride

I wanted to get out this morning and enjoy the weather but not try too hard so i spun around to both of the spots we hiked last weekend: Strawberry Hill in the park and Battery Spencer across the bridge.

I thought about tackling Hawk Hill for the first time but bailed at the circle before the last climb because I was not the mood for that nonsense.

Casual city loop that accidentally almost became a Hawk Hill ride — Figure 1. Five of seven pictures taken on the ride. Select an image to view the set.

Figure 2. A map of San Francisco, California. The path of a 30 and a quarter mile (48 and a half kilometer) ride is indicated. About 1375 feet (419 meters) elevation over four and a quarter hours, (two and three quarters hours moving).
