A wee tour from San Francisco to Napa
I have attend a conference in Napa in mid-May. I'm looking for a good route from San Francisco to Napa. Here's my plan:
Pack up my Bike Friday New World Tourist. Fly out to SFO, and arrive late. Stay in a hotel, and depart first thing in the morning. I'll be pulling that Bike Friday suitcase/trailer, but I'll be traveling fairly light.
My preferred route would take me over the Golden Gate Bridge (rather than taking the ferry to Vallejo). It looks like there's a ton of climbing once you get to the other side!
Looking at Google maps is pretty daunting. I'm not sure if it's legal or even desirable to ride along Hwy 101, which is obviously the way you would drive. Anyway, I've got all day to go 60-70 miles.
For the return, I'll be much more pressed for time (a 3pm flight out of SFO), so I'll be leaving first thing in the morning and heading for the ferry in Vallejo, packing up the bike, and maybe taking BART to SFO.
Anybody have any route suggestions? Thanks!
