Ups and Downs

I was pedaling furiously but not going anywhere. 
No, I was not on an exercise bike at the gym. 
I was traversing the steep, steep hills of San Francisco. 


As Paul casually cycled behind me, I walked most of the way hoping that the bike would not succumb to gravity and run me over. 

40 minutes, tears (a few), and a lot of angry mutterings (we should have taken the bus) later we arrived at the 5-hr Free Comedy Show in Golden Gate Park just in time to see Robin Williams take the stage. 

The afternoon was filled with hilarity, good company, and awesome people watching. 

My favorite part? 

The entire ride home was downhill.
