Here’s the motel we are staying in for the first few days. It’s in Santa Rosa in Sonoma County just a few miles from SF. After arriving on the evening of the 13th I’m hoping to pick the bike up on the 14th and just do a few miles locally to acclimatise before starting the trip proper on Saturday the 16th. I plan to ride with a few others down to the Golden Gate Bridge on the 15th ………. but more on that after I arrive.
