Saturday, August 16, 2014 *Thank a Farmer Day
We rode our bikes to the Alemany Farmer's Market. It was HUGE. Immense. Sprawling. Diverse. Our route was 4.91 mi. The route has a total ascent of 316.8 ft and has a maximum elevation of 242.16 ft. After we got home, we headed over to Walnut Creek for "An Afternoon of Rumi" which was spiritually fullfilling. We had an All-American summer family farewell dinner with hamburgers, corn on the cob, and watermelon.

The greener meeting challenge was a no-brainer since I biked to and from the conference center, staying with a family member negated the need for changing sheets and a maid service. I biked a total of 40 miles that week via Route 47 and 50 in San Francisco. I walked to and from Union Square and Moscone many times on Sunday, August 10th. I enjoyed the Fun Run with City Running Tours as a way to see the city in a running group. I had the water bottle from my bicycle, which I refilled at the bottle station in Moscone North. The conference theme was inspiring! Thanks ACS.
