Golden Gating

What do you get when you mix a crisp, sunny day, a holiday from work, and a Presidio-girl with a bike and camera-happy tendencies? My first bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge (one of which I hope will be a monthly tradition with friends or solo.)Boats were sailing and Alcatraz was looking great as I rode from my apt up to the bridge (love that it is literally right there in my neighborhood!)...Me and my trusty ol' bike getting ready to ride across!I wasn't the only one with the idea to bike across the bridge on this lovely day. You can walk/run/bike or skip, just mind the traffic...
On the Bridge (there are 2 paths on either side of the road--one for bikes and one for pedestrians. For those not familiar, the Golden Gate links San Francisco to Sausilito. On my next ride, I want to get a group and go over the bridge to Sausilito city, have a picnic or something, and take the ferry back over to San Fran and bike back home.
Smooth sailing: a view from the iconic bridge..
Up close and personal: An inscription on the Golden Gate Bridge...I love the one-of-a-kind color of the bridge's arches...
What a lovely day for a ride across the Bay :) Hope to do this again very soon!

That looks like so much fun chica! I want to go! (Though I don't own a bike, nor do I live in San Fran!) But if I make it up there maybe we can figure something out. Great pics! The water looks beautiful and the view from Alcatraz is very cool!
