The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, US - 11th March 2006

It's the final part of a two-night stop in San Francisco - on the way back from San Diego to the UK for a few days - which involves the hiring of a bike from the Blazing Saddles outpost on Fisherman's Wharf waterfront, to cycle from there over to Sausalito across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It's a great ride, which involves some major hill-related action, including one in Marin County that's too steep to cycle up, and also includes an incredible wind which blasts constantly across the deck of the bridge.
