There a 4 well known/documented routes available from sf2g.com, the Bayway is the considered the simplest one and definitely the one to start with for beginners. The route is pretty easy indeed with mostly flat roads (except for 3 small inclines in the beginning) and also most of the time roads with little risks to bicyclists because of dedicated lanes and less traffic, which comes at the cost of making the directions pretty complicated. Even after doing my second ride already I am not sure I can complete the ride without some one else leading the way.
The route is very scenic and if the weather gets favourable like it did last 2 rides for it, it makes the 42 miles ride of about 3-3:30 hour go by quickly.

Sorry not enough photos from this ride, may be using Street view would help :)
Earlier I thought this was a joke. Unbelievable that people actually cover that distance on bike to go to work.
ReplyDelete@Abhishek: Its very real, and the people here do much more strenuous ride, so much that this is now like a no-op for them.
