[IZ] Morning Bike, 6/10

Dist: 20.3 miles
Time: 1:43
Avg: 11.8 MPH

Crissy Field to the bridge. Up to the top of the Headland and down the other side. Through the tunnel to the bridge and back home the same way.

Today was foggy, with visibility maybe 50' most of the way. When you crest the Headland and go down the other side, it's a steep 30% or so (?) grade down, with a cliff on one side and a lot of sharp turns. Usually I'm overly cautious going down, but today I couldn't see the cliff or much of anything, and I found myself going 20 MPH or more and still feeling in control. J put it very well: "Today you were the blind man on the narrow bridge."
