10/3 (THURS) FAIRFAX TO HALF MOON, CA 51 MILES

Ate breakfast-all left together for GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.  Still had major climbs-but so much easier w/new gears.  GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE is in front of us-another thing Jean can cross off her bucket list.  Only 1 side is open for bikers & pedestrians going both ways-got crowded at times.  Take pictures & find bike route around SF going through parks.  Get on 1 by mistake & almost get run over-jump curb & go back on dirt path.  Eat lunch in Daly City at Subway-no bathroom-tell us to go over to Taco Bell.  Bike near ocean w/winds at our back.  Get to Half Moon & feel like going farther because it’s easy biking.  Talk to Jean & Lynn while Armand goes to bathroom.  Comes back & has FLAT TIRE-call Jean.  Finds us a room at Coastside Inn ($120)-very clean-have 8 pillows (2 beds).  Dinner at Tres Amigos wJean’s nephew & girlfriend-both are in graduate programs at Stanford & have competed in an Ironman-very impressive.  Our son John is training for his 1st Ironman.  Talk to sister Barbara-it’s her b-day today- find out our dog Dominic is being good. 

51 MILES  9.7 MPH (4-35 MPH) 5 HRS 12 MIN BIKING TIME
