I have put together a plan for after the ride from SF to LA. I will bike each block of each street of San Francisco. For busy streets, I can wake up at 4AM to avoid terrible traffic. This is especially smart on streets that are very steep and have no room for bikes during busy times.

Fortunately, they sell maps with elevation gain information on them. VERY useful. Because my sense of direction is relatively non-existent, this plan will help me map the city in my head.

Ever since I got hit by a car years and years ago, I lost my sense of direction. So many people ask me where this is and where that is, but I have no idea. It dawned on me some time ago that people actually remember all those direction details and look at me strangely when my eyes glaze over at turn three. Zigzags are much clearer, LRLRL (da-da-da-da-DA), RLLRLL (Daa-daa-daa-Daa-daa-daa), etc.
