We awoke to a light rain and decided to push on to San Francisco with two options: if the weather held we could do a spot of sightseeing and then proceed to Pacifica, if the weather worsened, we would check into the first motel and take a damned shower.
The weather was fine and so was the downhill into Sausalito. We had breakfast and then crossed the Golden Gate into San Francisco. Ken wanted to see China Town; I wanted to see the Mythbusters studio.
As we approached Grant Ave, I became unsure about the gastronomic decision I had agreed to partake in. Ken slammed on the breaks and said “Here”. He indicated towards the Far East Café, where 6 SFPD motorcycles occupied its parking space. Cops know about food.
The heavens opened so my Mythbusters pilmigrage was iced. We proceeded to Market Ave so that we could follow it out of San Francisco. At an intersection we asked another cyclist for directions to the 1. He said, “Follow me”.
The Wiggle is a very clever cycling route intended to avoid San Francisco’s infamous hills. Basically when you reach a hill, you simply turn left/right from it and eventually make it to your destination without as much as a climb. The route is also indicated with signs.
The panhandle is another cycle route shaped like a panhandle. Duh.
I also saw two familiar faces: Milanese trolleys. I would have never imagined seeing them in California. Italians, they’re everywhere.
We checked into a motel in Pacifica and initiated the drying procedure.
