As the beautiful Bay weather continues (to stress everyone out),
the saying “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” comes to mind.
Due to the drought, I’ll be doing my part and cutting down on my water usage by 20%.
But like the saying goes, I’ll be joining ’em by also taking advantage of every cloudless sunshiny day.

Breakfast fuel then us first-timers walking the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge.

 

 

 Park at Ikea to catch the trail to the bridge.

 Yes, that’s 4 1/2 miles ONE WAY.
Do the math for r/t.
