Today it was decided it was "Bike the Bridge Day"... I was not a part of
this decision. 10 miles each way from the Embarcadero bart station to
Sausalito across the golden gate. Turned out to be the best part of the
summer so far. Despite the burning pain and the state of atrophy my limbs are now in.
Some sights and pictures of us at the pier we cycled down before we
realised it was a pier and not the way to the bridge. Note my hair in
this picture. You'll see why.
The girls decided they wanted to go for a bit of a frolic. Karl is now officially one of the girls.
Inclines are not our strong point.
"Let's BE the bridge" were their exact words.
The bridge is windy. Very windy. Like, gale force. My hair just... I was very upset... Taken after our first crossing.
The Hill of Death. Cycling down it at full speed was probably the most fun I've had all holiday. Almost came off twice and ended up taking a corner too close and speeding through a bush. Nanny doesn't have to know about that part.
Taken after the second crossing of the bridge on our way back. Just to be clear I had anticipated this and smothered my hair in gel and borrowed the girls' hairspray. It did not work. I kinda liked it that way though. Looked like a heavy metal fan on the train home. The windswept look obviously suits me. Course it could just be the dashing good looks. Who knows?
Thought I'd finish with a picture of the sunset on the way home. That's really all my news for now. All the suitable parts anyway. Ill update again some time soon hopefully. Not sure if I posted this here but my american phone works again. Cleaned all the tea out with a hairdryer.
Talk to ya all soon!
