Grey and cold start to the day but made bearable by addition of raisins to oatmeal this morning. Shared state park with Gunther, aged 70, from the Bay area last night , has about half the kit I do and a tiny tent with no mat ( he also has a mate cycling across the states aged 80, wife following in RV) chapeau ! Got warmer as day went on and rode through some pretty cool little towns on the way to SF, also passed through Fairfax and Marin County, the birthplace of mountain biking. Bit of a mission getting on to the Golden Gate Bridge without ending up on a four lane freeway but soon worked it out, loads of other bikes out today, felt pretty good rolling across such an iconic landmark tbh and felt pretty pleased with myself .Nice route along the waterfront watching the kite surfers and windsurfers into fishermans wharf for couple of hotel nights( already eaten too much Thai food lying in bed watching HBO) real contrast to the usual. Few chores tomorrow (laundrette priority , I think people are edging away from me).
Highlight of the day? Gotta be rolling across the Golden Gate, sun shining , hotel awaiting,
