San Francisco! - Day 33

After about 8 miles on the road, the bike route got us off into neighborhoods and small town streets.  It was a flat route and very enjoyable--we even stopped at a bakery mid-morning for juice and scones. There were several cyclists on the route which was a good thing because we needed to keep asking directions as the zig-zagging our book told us to do was confusing.  We had a few hard, short climbs before and after Sausalito, the community before the Golden Gate Bridge where it was sunny and we saw tons of sailboats out in the bay.  The Golden Gate Bridge, however, was engulfed in fog and very chilly riding across. We couldn't see the arches above and could hardly see the water below.  We arrived in San Francisco!  We found our quaint, little motel on the west side of Lombard Street and didn't have to climb any steep streets to get to it.
