2 November 2010

Yipee, today we pick up my bike.

We head off into San Fran,me two up on the back of Scott's bike...not a sight you see very often!


I take a few piccies as we head out on the highway.




Sue follows behind us


Over Bay Bridge


San Fran city skyline


We arrive at Dubbelju ( pronounced "W")


I'm glad this one isn't mine...


...but this one is!


I had been a bit worried that the bike might be a little high for me ( despite having sat on one at Birmingham bike show) but all is ok,with a lowered Touratech seat I can touch the ground tippy toes.

As it is such a beautiful day we head off down the coast, up Pescarado to Alice's Restaurent for lunch.

I'd forgotten just how great the roads are out here-check out the map at the bottom of the post to see just how many twisties we went round!


Alice's is a big biker hang out-here's some Harley riders enjoying lunch

 

And here's my lunch,one of the many burgers that Alices offer-I went for an Indian with bacon,cheese & onion...yummy


After lunch we headed back home. The temepratures were hitting 79", so I was starting to get a bit warm!
It looks like this weather is set to stay for a few days-so its really lucky that I'm borrowing one of Scott's jackets, otherwise I will be overheating (again!)

Here's the route we took from Dubbelju to Alices:




One more sleep to go,before we head off for the holiday proper!

I will be updating this blog as often as I can,but it all depends on whether there are computers available at the hotels & if I can upload photos from them, as I have not brought my netbook with me this time as it is unwell!
