Bicycling San Fransisco

I left San Francisco early this morning and flew to San Diego. It was really cool to be back in SF after nineteen years, but the visit was way too short. The experience was a little similar to looking a place up on Google Earth. "Hey, cool, I can see the park where we used to hang out! Look, there is our old train station!" And then it is over.

I met Heather and Rusty from Søren Larsen. Heather is a local and I stayed one night at her grandpa's place in San Mateo and one night with some of her friends in Oakland. I rented a bike on my second day and went on a ride from Fisherman's Wharf, over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, from where I returned on a ferry to the San Francisco waterfront.

ooh! You've gone cycling in San Francisco as well! Something that a great trip should clearly include:) I loved the downhill after the gate in Sausalito...

Great pictures as well... I am not sure if you can get a bad set from San Francisco, but perhaps that's possible.

Have a very white Christmas in Sweden, I certanly will in Finland
