Hello, I suppose I'll introduce myself. I am new and slow but down to go for a ride if anyone else is  I'm in SF, so mostly sticking to the peninsula for now, trying to avoid the freeways.

My primary concern with the freeways was more my ability to effectively scan, panic brake, and/or swerve at 65-80mph. My bike is also big on drag and low on power; it can manage, but freeway speeds aren't its strength. I did a little freeway riding recently. 101 and 280 were mostly fine, but 380 east is a shitshow.  I think I'll avoid that one going forward. Two cars merged into me/my lane without looking in less than 2 miles? I was kind of expecting it to be not great, but it exceeded expectations. Anyway, went on a good ride with pokie the other morning. Here is a picture.  Before we set off we talked about which roads to ride on. I had mentioned Stage Rd is nice but I had only driven it, as I recall it being fairly gravely and was too scared on my bike. Then on Highway 9 we ran into a several mile long patch that had been freshly milled and was covered in gravel
