    According to Websters, you're right on the second part, but wrong on
    the first (assuming you're using definition #1):
 
   Pronunciation: 'bI-"pas
   Function: noun
   Date: 1848
   1 : a passage to one side; especially : a deflected route usually
       around a town
   2 a : a channel carrying a fluid around a part and back to the
	 main stream b (1) : SHUNT 1b (2) : SHUNT 1c; also : a surgical
	 procedure for the establishment of a shunt <have a coronary
         bypass> 


Looping around SF on either side would either put you in

    It's probably not practical to loop around SF to the west, because
    there's only ocean out there for a long long ways, but if you go east
    there's the bulk of North America, which by happy coincidence includes
    the land immediately east of SF bay.
