85 miles, 4300' of elevation gain, temp range of 58 to 75 degrees under clear blue skies.
Woke up to a spectacular sunrise and off we went back toward the Golden Gate Bridge along one of the bike paths. The early morning light, made for special view of this glorious bridge as well as the entire harbor. Our route took us past lands end and through the Presidio and eventually along the coast road. Tough steep hills for the first 20 miles which tested both legs and brakes but the views made the journey all worth it.
The ride went along the Pacific for almost the entire day and eventually the terrain became less steep and hilly allowing us to make better time while still enjoying the wonderful views and the smell of the salt water. Some traffic to start but once we past Daly City it dissipated rapidly.
A hard long ride but we have been blessed with beautiful weather and eventually had a following wind.
