My route is prolly somthing like this:
Up Valencia St, cross Market, (flat)
Up Octavia St to Fulton St to Steiner St, (ascend Alamo Heights)
Steiner St to Greenwich (up over the Lafayette Hts-Pacific Heights saddle),
Up Greenwich St to Lyon (up Pac Heights),
then dowwwwnnnn hill thru the western part of the Marina to the Exploratorium, Palace of Fine arts.

Thanks... tho I need some gears to try the commute on, before I can make any adjustments

What sortsa up and down hills do you normally ride, and how do you feel about that gearing?

I gotta say that 42x17 is quite a bit nicer in SF. I recommend that you just try your commute, and made adjustments if necessary.
