Things started a little foggy and cool today. The temperature getting started was 56 degrees and it got up to 61 today. Because of the cool and the fog, no one was real anxious to get going, but we did leave the hostel at about 9:00. We had about 5 miles to ride to get to the bridge and the city of San Francisco and the bridge were still in a bit of fog, but it was pretty. On the bridge, they have one side dedicated to pedestrians and the other side is for cyclists. At the time in the morning that we were there, there weren't many, but as we came into the hostel the day before, that bridge was packed with bikers. I am glad that it wasn't that way.
We were then to ride thorouh Golden Gate Park, but they were having this blue grass festival and had some of the roads closed through the park, so we rode around. I did want to see into the park, so I took a detour and went in. While in, I stopped and was listening to LDS conference and the blue grass bands started to play. That was a little difficult to consentrate on conference while the bands were playing.
That would be a great festival to attend someday. It is for three days and it's free. We then made our way thru San Fran. Some of the streets in this town are crazy.
But the houses and all is really cool. We then rode next to the ocean, which I never get tired of.
We are in Half Moon Bay state park tonight. It is right by the ocean and we get to sleep listening to the crash of waves. Me and TJ (from Indianapolis) had to cook tonight. TJ had the idea of cooking vegetables in a curry, coconut milk sauce and putting that over rice. It was delicious. One thing that is nice is that the van that carries all our gear goes to the store and gets the groceries for our meals, so all we have to do is make the list. That is nice as it saves a lot of time for the riders. It sure did get cool quickly as the sun went down.
This is the view out of the tent. Good night all.
