A tick on a long awaited list of to-do's! Thats a visit to see the Golden Gate Bridge and what better way than to ride a bicycle across it. Our tour director, Marcus, did a splendid job of guiding us through interesting areas and on to the bridge.To add to that, the weather was perfect which made the day complete!
