We definitely lingered today, enjoying the morning at the hotel, doing some bike checks, and of course the repack…
We’ve not gone into much detail about the routine of preparing for bike travel. Simply put – everything has its place – and the moment things are not in their place, trouble begins. Of course after a three-day break, some habits need to be reestablished. It started with me not being able to find the various locks and pins for the BOB – not in their spot – as well as finding a new home for a pair jeans and shoes, easier said than done!
We rolled out around noon, slowly riding along the waterfront, into Fisherman’s Wharf for a final look at the tack. A quick stop at a recommended deli for lunch allowed the skies to clear for our return to the Golden Gate and continuation of the ride. We stopped for numerous pictures and to admire this impressive structure.
Our ride continued to push us South through San Francisco’s numerous suburbs. Unlike those cities to the North these were a little rough around the edges. With only one navigating error causing a 20’ detour the ride went smoothly.
We were told that today’s ride would be littered with pumpkin patches and it certainly was. At least a dozen in the final 15 miles, each offered a view of a ‘Giant’ pumpkin, and a well-decorated field for children young and old to explore.
With the clouds settled in late in the day, we decided to kill a little time before arriving at camp, almost causing us to miss this great sunset. We decided that perhaps we could tone down the calories a bit so we opted for a dinner of granola and fruit…
