San Francisco

We made it to San Francisco and took a rest day in the city. Time was spent doing laundry, tuning bikes and replacing calories. Personally, I ate seven doughnuts from Bob's. We had excellent hospitality from our hosts Anna and Aaron and we watched sunsets from the roof before sweating into bowls of Thai food. Vince even showed odd his roundhouse kick. After a 95 mile day we passed the 1000 mile mark on our journey and ended up in Santa Cruz, California.
