Nine of us gathered Sunday to bike hilly back roads (avoiding Mission St, Bayshore Blvd, San Jose Ave, and some other common roads) to and through San Bruno Mountain park, along dirt paths, and up Radio Road to the summit covered with radio towers, with views of Sutro Tower, the Bay Bridge, Colma graveyards, SFO airport runways, and Mt Diablo.
This was followed by shedding 1500’ of elevation in minutes on twisty downhills, cutting through industrial corners of Brisbane, biking past the dump, Candlestick Park, and out to Candlestick point itself, before zig-zagging through Bayview to meet up with Sunday Streets.
It was an unexpectedly warm, sunny, and fog-free day– not even cold on the mountain top.

These small mountaintop landscape photos just don’t do justice to the amount we could see:
