Ride Profile

Ride Description

Moderate:  Very scenic, some sections will present difficulty for novice riders as the climbs up to the Golden Gate Bridge on both sides are a little steep.

This is also San Francisco, so bring a wind jacket if you have it!!

Try and ride this in the A.M or early afternoon.  If you get too late in the day the fog from the ocean will engulf the bridge and you will be soggy(not always the case, but happens regularly)
