Day 18 (part B) Bicycle Trip 2023

Everyone else rode about 73 miles today, but Cliff and Kathy got lost and rode 85, but they made it to camp. We all have an app on our phones called “Ride with GPS”. It is a mapping app that has each day’s route in it that I had plotted before the trip. It gives audible turn-by-turn instructions which are nice because you don’t have to look down as you ride through traffic. That will be good tomorrow as we go across the Golden Gate Bridge and through San Fransico with lots of turns keeping us out of major traffic. Cliff got lost because he turned off his phone and missed a turn. Tonight we are camped in an RV Park that is basically a big parking lot in the middle of busy traffic. Many of the streets in San Francisco have designated bike lanes, and our app indicates on the map with a green line where those are. Tomorrow should be gorgeous as we ride along some very high bluffs next to the ocean. I am going to ride tomorrow because I don’t want to miss going over the Golden Gate. I will probably try riding every other day for awhile and see how I feel. We are watching the NBA championship game tonight on the TV that is in the motorhome, the RV park has cable TV at each of the RV sites, and they had a warm swimming pool as well.
