Day 15: Richmond Marina Bay to El Cerrito Plaza BART
(Richmond to El Cerrito)
Circle The Bay Part 3
May 28th 2018
6.0 miles in 1 hrs 30 mins
(Total: 263.9 miles in 48 hrs 31 mins)
Today was Memorial Day, and some of it needed to be spent in a park. I found a spot on top of a hill near the bay to sit and watch barbecuers and swimmers and runners and bikers. And I got the photo I wanted, one that evoked an impressionist Seurat painting.
I stopped to grab a tempeh (fried tofu) and swiss sandwich at the dog park near the bay. The tempeh wasn't as good as last year, it seemed like they had embedded some other large grain in it, like corn.
When I had to the choice to wrap up the day by either biking to downtown Berkeley, a place I've been many times, or just finishing up at the El Cerrito Plaza BART, a place I've never stopped at, I chose the new experience. The El Cerrito Plaza is a very suburban shopping experience with parking lots and chain stores. A 1970's production, just like BART.
