I've been getting a lot of questions regarding bike riding in San Francisco - from people concerned they can't make it up the hills. Not to worry - I have routes that we can take that avoid the hills - we'll start off on level ground and stay there, if that's your preference! So you don't have to be Lance Armstrong to enjoy this magnificent city from bike level - just bring your love for the outdoors and your enjoyment to ride a bike. I'll take care of the rest!

Had the cutest couple this past week - spending their honeymoon in San Francisco (where else?) -- but I'm talking a couple that wanted to spend it on bikes - touring this great city. So I helped arrange for some bike rentals - and off we went. Talk about boundless energy - I do this for a living, but had trouble keeping up with Sarah! We started in Little Italy, touring some of the area's neighborhoods, had lunch at an outdoor cafe, then started riding again for the rest of the afternoon. "Thanks" to the doorman at the Niko Hotel who stored their bikes overnight - and the next day we went on an excursion all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. I want to send out a a "big thanks" to Mark and Sarah - for letting me help them have a great time on their honeymoon in San Francisco!

Going to start leaving notes about some great times I had with clients I’ve met through Omoly. These people are amazing – I’m getting clients from all over the world – not just the States but Canada, New Zealand – and yesterday I had clients from Hong Kong. It’s great – being able to meet such a diverse group of clients.
What’s really fun is designing tours for these folks. I’m not talking about the typical “let’s hop a cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf.” I’m talking about, “where are the really cool neighborhood shops and galleries?” Or, “show me some restaurants where the locals go – for some really great food.” Or, “I’d like to spend some time out of the city touring wine country, but let’s find some out-of-the-way wineries.” These are the challenges I love – because I grew up here and I really know this city and all it has to offer. So it’s a blast showing people around.
Speaking of wine country, Napa isn’t the only stop on my tour. There’s St. Helena, which has some great restaurants and shops – and is only a few miles down from Napa. Everyone I’ve taken there has really enjoyed it, and I would recommend it for anyone who’s planning on coming down to wine country for a long afternoon. And you can’t go back without going to one of Napa’s world-class restaurants – and they’re not just the ones on all the tourist websites. (You’ll have to call me for names – I’m not publishing them here because I can still get a reservation, and if start letting the world know about it they’ll be like all the others that you have to book weeks in advance.
I’ll write more later - go to meet some clients now.
