Bicycle Ride Across Golden Gate Bridge

It has been on my mind for awhile, so I decided to ride across the Golden Gate Bridge going through Sausalito.

I picked a bad day to do this ride. It is foggy and windy. This is typical July weather for the San Francisco Bay Area.

First I have to ride across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. There are a lot of road cyclist group rides going over the bridge. I guess this is road cyclist group ride day.

I ride through downtown Sausalito and this is where the fun begins. This means some climbing. I’m not the best on hills, but with all the hills I have been riding lately my legs feel pretty good. May not be fast, but I keep moving.

The start of my ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Let the fun begin.
On the Golden Gate Bridge.

Decided to ride to Embarcadero BART station. At least riding this way it is mostly downhill. If I was going the other way the climbs would be rough. Some people are walking their bicycles up the climbs.

When I get to the platform at the Embarcadero BART station the Antioch train was pulling in. So I hopped on it.

I was thinking about getting off at 12th Street BART and then hit Telegraph and ride to Berkeley. Decided against it. MacArthur BART would be easier to Teleghraph.

Well that didn’t work out. Off to Orinda BART station. I rather ride from Orinda because there is better scenery.

Not a bad day on the bicycle.
