| Don met me in SF at the 24th and Mission BART station. We came across two other tourists heading south and spoke about the best routes out of the city. |
 |
| We left the city via The Wiggle and Golden Gate Park, which ended up dropping us at the beach alongside The Great Highway. |
 |
| Views from Fort Funston where we stopped to eat lunch and watch hang gliders ride the coastal winds. |
 |
| Conquering the hilly neighborhoods of Daly City. |
 |
| We found a segment of bike path that dropped us off at beautiful Linda Mar Beach. |
 |
| Back on Highway 1 for the congested climb leading up to Devil's Slide. |
 |
| Overgrown bushes, narrow shoulders and heavy traffic, oh my. |
 |
| The transition from roadway to bike path and pedestrian walkway. |
 |
| Minutes later we were riding around that curve after shooting downhill at 40+ mph, dodging a wandering dog in the bike lane along the way. |
 |
| Taking a minute to enjoy the view and put on wool leg warmers to prepare for the fast descent. |
 |
| $7/night for a walk-in hiker biker site at the Half Moon Bay Park. |
 |
| This was about 50 yards from out tents, not too shabby. |
 |
| Woke up with the sun at 6 AM and decided to take a walk on the beach... |
 |
| ...wearing my Keen SPD sandals. |
 |
| The ocean mist and fog cover made for wet tents in the morning. Venting out some moisture before packing up and heading out for second breakfast. |
 |
| Oatmeal and coffee at a restaurant near the marina in Montara. |
 |
| For every ripping downhill there is a steep uphill. A mother and her two young children were walking alongside us and chatting for a while. |
 |
| Pulling off The Great Highway near the San Francisco Zoo after Don took a little tumble. |
 |
| I brought us from sea level up to Twin Peaks on a gradual uphill and then we held the brake levers tight descending steep road segments back to Bernal Heights. |
