After 17 days of quiet villages & unspoiled scenery, it's back to bumper-to-bumper traffic again after first riding along Tomales Bay, leaving Hwy 1 at Pt. Reyes Station. Fairfax, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Sausalito, then the Golden Gate Bridge and into "The City". The 53-mile day marks my 14th day riding in the last 15 days. I'll spend the next week with my wonderful, supportive family before returning for 11 more days to complete my Mexico-or-Bust quest.
It's pouring, but first break I'm going for it - want to see Kelley and the girls
Rain poncho at the ready
Tomales Bay
I built this ark just in case
Feeling really good. ....ON YOUR RIGHT!!
There's a lot of new calves I've seen on the Pacific Coast. I think a cow uprising is being hatched.
Jumping on the Cross Main Trail
Bike path colors are amazing in this weather
Didn't see a soul until the camp area
....and then it started to pour, and it poured for the 30 minutes it took me to find cover in Lagunitas.
Me looking at campers and thinking..."dummies". Campers looking at me and thinking..."idiot"
Waited under an awning in Lagunitas for 15 minutes and set off again to patches of blue sky
Coffee and a scone at Fat Angel Bakery in Fairfax, the closest thing to a city I've seen since....can't remember
Just spotted this headline at Fat Angel and given my "no media" boycott while on this trip, I have just been recognized as the last person in America to know
...and after climbing Corte Madera, look what's in the background mist - seems weird, like another world
Sausalito lots of people
Whoa, lucky me - caught a close-up of Oracle against the backdrop of The City
I have officially missed my last chance to return to uncivilization
It is a pretty cool bridge
Don't do it Wilie; you have so much to live for and you still need to drag my butt another 700 miles!!
Surprised by a group of friends at Chrissy Field - sorry I took an hour to get there from Sausalito!
They braved the morning storm to witness a beautiful afternoon
My daughter/honoree Lindsey with her best friend Jillian
See you next weekend for the final leg
