In San Francisco


We made it to San Francisco, CA after a brief stop in Denver.  I'm not sure what happened but supposedly the flight attendant on our plane was sick and we had to land in Denver to exchange flight attendants and then we were off to San Fran.

We road the trolley from Market Street to Powell St and then walked to our hostel.  The Green Tortoise.  I highly recommend this place. It is located in the heart of the activity at the merger of Little Italy and China town.  They had a place to store our bikes and space for us to build our bikes, it was clean, and everyone was very friendly.  The free breakfast and dinner Wednesday night was definitely extra credit.





We had to make a stop at a local bike shop to get a part before we began our trip.  Thanks to Citizen Chain Cyclerly for the bike part and the free tube since James was able to answer the question of the day correctly.  The bike shop guy asked us where we are touring and we told him.  His comment:  oh, you are riding against the wind.  LOL.  Indeed we are.

Now we are packing our gear and getting ready to load the bikes.  I guess the adventure will truly begin and the hard part of pedaling will start.
