Bay to Breakers 2000
| The Race
This year, Laura and I ran in the Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. It is the second oldest and the largest footrace in America and quite possibly the world. Almost 100,000 people ran in the race. It took us half an hour after the race started just to get to the starting line. |
 |
 |
The Finish Line
The race is seven and a half miles long and starts at the San Francisco Bay. The race winds through the streets of San Francisco and ends at the breakers (waves) of the Pacific Ocean. After the race there was a huge party with live bands and tons of beer (of course). We are going to run in it again next year. |
Riding Across The Golden Gate Bridge
| Laura and I with our bikes. We parked our car at the
ferry terminal in San Francisco and then we rode down the
Embarcadero past Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf, through Fort Mason
and the Presidio, over the Golden Gate Bridge, and then down into
Sausalito. Then we had a great lunch at horizons (and a few beers to
boot). We then took the ferry back to San Francisco.
All in all, a great day!
