Golden Gate Park hosted the Bay Area Super Prestige Series NCNCA Cup cyclocross bicycle race this weekend. Riders competed in a series of 40 minute races. I got some great shots of both the men and women.
The next race is Dec. 9, 2007 at Coyote Point in San Mateo, CA.
After eating too much Thanksgiving food, I thought I’d better get outside and go for a hike. I headed up to the Marin Headlands and out to the Point Bonita Lighthouse. On the way to the lighthouse I got this shot of the Golden Gate Bridge from one of the old defense batteries.
Some people start off Thanksgiving Day with a parade. For 1,000 people in San Francisco, their day started off with a 5k run through Golden Gate Park. The run usually called the Turkey Beach Trot was relocated to the park year because of the oil spill cleanup taking place at Ocean Beach. What makes this run a fun one is that many of the participants dress up as pilgrims and indians.

Jelly’s in San Francisco was packed on Friday night with all the people supporting the launch of Curt Yagi’s new CD. A whole lineup of solo artists performed before Curt and his band took the stage. |

I started the evening off with two tacos and a cervesa at La Taqueria in the Mission District in San Francisco. The place was jam-packed with people waiting for the start of the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festivities. The parade went right by the restaurant. There were quite a few people dressed in costumes. After the main part had gone by I joined in and followed it down the streets to Garfield Park where the community altar had been set up. Lots of people had left candles, flowers, and pictures of loved ones. If you’ve never seen the Day of the Dead celebration, plan to attend next year - in costume to get the full effect.
