the city

After recently talking to nick and realizing that he had never been to the Golden Gate I decided we would just have to spend a day in the city and ride across it. Hard to believe that anyone from the Bay Area hasn't been across the Golden Gate bridge. Not to mention he didn't know what Coit Tower is! Well anyway, we rode into the city, to a thrift town in the mission, and all the way out to the other side of the bridge and back to Powell. A highlight of the ride: mashing down Bay Street through traffic and passing all the cars. We had an awesome day, even when headwinds on the way to the bridge gave us hell, and riding brakeless seemed possibly foolish (I actually loved the skidding down steep hills). Long story short I brought my camera and was able to get a few shots when we weren't on the saddle.



there was a lot going down on the water across from Mason St.

We both had a fun day, it made me want to go back and spend all day riding around with my camera...I think I will before I go back to Chico
