---
In April of this year, I attempted to bike the [Katy Trail](https://mostateparks.com/park/katy-trail-state-park), but I forgot how unpredictable weather could be in Missouri that time of year and got rained out. While visiting with my parents waiting for my flight back to California, I decided to do a short bike tour in the San Francisco Bay Area where at the very least I wouldn't have to deal with rain.

Set out on this trip on July 21 and returned to my home in Berkeley on July 24. This is the log I kept while on the road, transcribed with minimal editing from the notebook I kept with me.

In addition to my notes, I also took a bunch of pictures which you can find on [Flickr][9].
