Monday I decided to rest. My legs were really sore, and I was still pretty wasted from Sunday’s ride. I rode around town a bit, went to the post office and the grocery store, then found a Kinko’s to go on-line. I spent a couple of hours updating my blog, uploading photos, and catching up on e-mail. Then I went down to the municipal wharf and had a nice picnic lunch looking out at the bay. I took some great photos, including some amazing shots of the sea lions under the wharf.
After giving it some thought, I opted to take public transportation back into San Francisco, since I knew I had the interview and JFKU the next day. Also, I wanted to catch the start of Stage 3 of the Amgen Tour of California. Stage 3 was from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, over some of the very route I had just ridden on Sunday.
I was able to connect with a wonderful and gracious host—Michael Dunne (and his dog buddy)—through warmshowers.com, who gave me a place to crash for the night. I got a shower, was able to do a load of laundry, and also got a ton of useful information about bike touring in northern California and Oregon. After talking with Michael, I decided that my next step would be to head north along the coast to Portland, Oregon. Let the adventure begin!!
