To the Golden Gate Bridge.
We left our B&B and headed for San Fransisco. The ride is only about 40 miles long. We do not ride on Hwy 1 again. Both the book and maps say the rode is too dangerous. We ride through Samuel P. Taylor Park on a great bike path. Right after Woodacre we start to ride on designated bike routes through the many small towns of Marin County. It's Saturday and there are bikes everywhere. Many people have ridden in from the city. Many Lance wanabees but also many others. Most of them pass us and take notice of our tandem and full load. We are still inland and the temperature is warm. We ride with only our short sleeve jerseys. On the climb right before we descend into the bay, we see a tandem. Our first of the entire trip. They are locals and ride the area often. We dodge the "pink walkers" (see post below) and make our way into Sausalito. Kendal is there to meet us. It is great to see her. Lunch overlooking the bay, we drop our bags off in the car and head to the bridge. On final climb and we are on the bridge. What a ride. We stop a couple times for pictures. Kendal drove ahead to meet us on the other side. We did it! We are done. Many mixed emotions.
