Alissa: It was a bit crazy to go from the middle of nowhere to being across the Golden Gate Bridge in about 20 miles! All the small towns in Marin County between Fairfax and Sausalito were super cute and reminded me of the Village area in Claremont. Since we had plans to meet our friend Matt Parker for delicious pizza, we didn’t stop in any of them, but it was fun to see them.
We really lucked out and had a gorgeous sunny (and non-windy!) day to cross the bridge.
And now we’re spending the weekend in Berkeley to spend some time off the bikes and see Glen’s brother and other friends.
Glen: I had heard that the Golden Gate Bridge is always being painted: as soon as they finish one coat, it’s time to start the next from the other end. But I didn’t see a single painter. What did happen, though, is that there was an emergency closing of the pedestrian exit from the bridge, so that dozens and dozens of people had to wait on the bridge (the cars could whiz by, no problem), making us even later for our lunch meetup.
