Route:
Sir Francis Drake Blvd., bike route, Fairfax, Larkspur, Marin City, Sausalito, Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
Left Samuel Taylor State Park on the way to San Francisco where I will stay at the HI City Center Hostel on Ellis Street.Passed the town of Lagunitas on the way to Fairfax. There are many road bike riders coming in the opposite direction ... looks like race training rides.
A good bike path starts in Fairfax, a town that is very organized with an excellent bike path system. There are many bike riders in this city ... the most I have seen in any city on the tour.
I stopped for breakfast and coffee at the Fair Fix Cafe which is on the bike route. This is a great place to grab a bite of food, have an espresso and their WiFi is very fast. I recommend a stop at this place.
While on the bike I crossed paths again with Wade from Dalles, Oregon and we continued on to ride towards Sausalito. The plan was that we would have lunch at the Trieste Restaurant in Sausalito and Wade's wife was to meet us there and they would leave from there driving to Dalles. The only glitch was that the restaurant has been renamed to the Taste of Cafe. I ordered a beer and a calamari sandwich. Sausalito was jammed with people coming to watch the America's Cup sailboat races. Afterwards, I made my way to the Golden Gate Bridge, crossed it around 3:00 pm, with the wind blowing hard on the bridge.
I arrived at the HI City Center (San Francisco) hostel just in time to watch Notre Dame play Purdue. The hostel was completely full that evening. I had a sandwich for dinner which I had purchased earlier that evening. Most of the people staying there that night were from Germany, Australia, France, Japan and China. The hostel is more like a hotel, very conveniently located in downtown San Francisco.
