Fri 28th Oct The Bike ride of all Bike rides!

Ok so this sounded fun when it was suggested that we should cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge but after 8 weeks of eating, drinking and generally being lazy this was a bit of a challenge!

But the sun was shining and there were lots of people on the cycle path so it couldn't be that hard could it?. First obstacle a rather steep hill, so I got off and pushed! At the top of the hill we overlooked Fort Mason which was the embarkation site for the forces/supplies going out to the Pacific during WW2.

As we got nearer the views of the Bridge were spectacular.

At the base of the bridge is an old fortification Fort Point, so we took a break and spent some time 
looking around.

We couldn’t put it off anymore so we mounted our cycles and set off  for the bridge. Before we knew it we were half way there.

We pushed on and crossed the bridge. We can now proudly say we cycled the Golden Gate Bridge!

There is a fabulous viewing point on the other side and the views are magnificent.

On the way back we stopped here for an ice cream but this being San Francisco and so health concious it was frozen low fat yoghurt. A bit late for us I think!

Home tomorrow we can’t believe we’ve been away 8 weeks it’s gone so quickly and if we had the energy we’d do it all again!
