Re: 107 floors: Streets of San Francisco

[Guest guest]

Oh man, that walk sounds both challenging and delightfully scenic!  If I'm every in SF I'm looking you up and counting on you to take me on this walk!Your friend in Stumptown

 

Hi all,I had such a great walk yesterday. I got my 100 floor badge yesterday. After a week of rainy, chilly bike commutes, I was so ready to feel some sunshine. It was in the 50's and 60's yesterday, the sky was brilliant blue, and the air smelled clean after all that rain. SF looked like a jewel to me. These long walks really help me clear my head.

Here's how I got to 107 floors yesterday:I walked to BART, about a mileMy local BART station is on a raised platform, and the SF downtown BART stations are underground, so lots of stairs there.I got out at the Embarcadero station, and walked through the Embarcadero Buildings because I needed a quick pitstop- the stairs are pretty there. 

I then walked up Sacramento Street all the way to Divisadero. That stretch of Sacramento St. has two major hills. Turned South on Divisadero. I stopped to pick up my new glasses at Kaiser, and then headed south on Divisadero. 

I stopped for lunch at Herbivore Restaurant for lunch. Delicious vegan food. Disinterested waitresses! Tiny tip, LOL!I kept going south on Divisadero, then turned West on Haight for the next big hill. 

I hiked to the top of Buena Vista Park. So pretty. So steep. That's where I went past 100 floors. The view is phenomenal from the peak: Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, sweeping vistas of SF neighborhoods. 

I then walked back down the hill, back downtown, hopped on Muni at the Church St. Station, transferred to BART, and then walked home.Fun, fun, fun.

I had such a great walk yesterday. I got my 100 floor badge yesterday.

OMG that's INSANE! And here I thought I was doing good getting 30 floors lol what a joke that is. I even said to myself that if I worked hard enough I could get the 50 floor badge lol.

Be proud. Be VERY proud.

LOL, No, it's no trick when you are near a really super hilly city like SF. You'd probably get the same walk done even faster, . 30 floors is super. I'm back to 10 floors today.

> yesterday.

holy smokes that is amazing angelica! i got my 50 badge a

little while ago and cant even fathom getting 100 floors (or

hills in your case) in one day! im will keep trying though.

interestingly the fitbit measures elevation changes during

rebounding and gives me floors for that. i take what i can get

but im not sure if that is cheating...lol.

Hi Carolyn,It's easy if you walk around San Francisco. It's so hilly in places. I don't know if you'll be able to see it, but I attached the elevation and map of the walk. Do you have any hilly hikes in your area?

I meant to add that this map and graph is only part of that day's walk. I live on the other side of the bay, and that part of the walk isn't shown. This map accounts for about 80 of the floors.
