The Rest Day?...

On the layday Chuck, Kevin and I rode bikes to our regular breakfast place on Chestnut Street. It's our favorite San Francisco spot and we go there whenever we're in the bay area. Afterwards the plan was to ride over to Tiburon via the golden gate bridge. It was perfect weather but a bit windy :) . Riding or walking across the the bridge has always been on my list of things I wanted to do.. so today was the day. The ride started through Chrissy Field then up to the city side of the bridge. We were just getting to the top of the uphill climb when Kevin's chain broke on his SoCal beach cruiser. This hill to most standards would be considered a very "lite" but my quads from three days of full hiking up and down the bay were screaming... "What are you thinking?" "It's a rest day stupid!" Regardless we made the trek to Tiburon, have fish and chips and a few beers.. and then took the ferry back across to the city. The breeze as we crossed the bay was ripping in the high 20's. Maybe even more the Tuesday's grinder on the bay. After a short ride back to the Marina District from Fisherman's Wharf.. we were back at the StFYC. I'm looking forward to the racing on Thursday.. More to come. Peter
