We missed the tropical storm by one day! We did see the aftermath in broken branches, debris strewn roadsides and campgrounds. A lovely evening (albiet a short one) at the Marina Motel in SF and then we are packing for the road. The first observation is that we have to much gear. The second, as we cycle towards the Golden Gate Bridge, is that the Motel clerk did not grasp the fact that we were on bikes when he gave us directions that funelled us onto the freeway. Several irrate drivers later we managed to get onto a bike/pedestrian pathway that eventually got us to the bridge. The drive across the bridge was great fun; exceptional views (pictures to follow from Diana) with a great ride down into Sausolito to finish it off. We follow the cycle routes north (thanks to Wendy Ken & Malcolm for the maps) and eventually make it to Samuel Taylor State Park for the night. Overall a great day; we meet a couple of other riders heading south, get a bit of info about the ride north and continue on our way the next morning. The 16th has us heading north again and after an up and down day of close to 40 miles we check into the Bodega Bay State Park for the night. We decide to take a layover day on the 17th clean up some gear, reorganize and write a blog note!! On that not I will wish everyone happiness and health.
Play Safe;
Diana & Ian
