Today we have decided to leave the City of San Francisco and explore some of the surrounding areas.
Leaving the concrete slab we have called our San Francisco pad, we drove out through the city and over the Golden Gate Bridge, it was lovely and busy.
Next, a stop at Sausalito, a city in Marin County, across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco. Another of the spots I did not get to experience in March due to being stuck in bed.
It was a beautiful day, so we decided to park the motorhome and use the bikes to explore.
We rode along the boardwalk and marina, watching the ferry come and go. Up the hilly road towards the Golden Gate Bridge, until we realised the road was a little bit too hilly and dangerous to ride with the boys (Noah was riding alone) and then along the cycle path to the houseboats nestled on the bay.
A quick bite to eat alongside the houseboats and then back into the motorhome to plan where we should stop tonight.
As we had still not visited any Redwood Forests we decided to try our luck at one of the State Forests. And we were in luck, we got a spot for the night at the Samuel P. Taylor State Forests.
Bikes out again and we spent the next couple of hours riding the Redwood bike tracks, following the rivers and through the beautiful Redwood canopies.
Noah was amazing, completing all the rides today on his own bike, awesome peddle power.
Time for a cooked dinner in the motorhome and an after-dinner fire with marshmallows.
A wonderful day spent enjoying the sunny summer outdoors.
