SF BAY AREA DAY TRIP ADVENTURE

Destination: Bike to Sausalito, Ferry Back

From the San Francisco Waterfront, bike along the Presidio, over the Golden Gate Bridge, then down into Sausalito, hopping on the ferry to return.

This is part of a series of family-oriented day trip outings around the San Francisco Bay Area I look forward to enjoying with my kids once social distancing and shelter in place isn’t the norm any longer.

Destination: Bike to Sausalito

1. Ride along the SF waterfront
2. Ride over the Golden Gate Bridge and down to Sausalito
3. Ferry back to San Francisco

I first rode this route over 20 years ago. The father of a friend of mine piled all of our bikes in the back of his truck, and we squeezed into the cab and drove over to the Marina Green by Crissy Field. From there, we rode along the water and made the climb up to the Golden Gate Bridge. We navigated over to the west side of the bridge where its bikes only and rode over. Crossing back under the bridge at the end, we rode down Alexander Avenue sharing the road with the cars, finally merging our way onto Bridgeway and along the Sausalito waterfront.
