We cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge on a delightfully sunny day, with no sign of the famous fog.

We picked up the bikes at Fisherman’s Wharf, which would be a lovely scenic spot with its piers and still-active fishing boats, if it hadn’t been overridden with tourist tat.
The ride to the Bay side of the bridge took us through Fort Mason, a former Army post turned scenic national park, and along the coast, with a steeply-uphill puff to the bridge’s mouth at the end.
Bonkers-coloured photos thanks to Lomography Redscale film!
It was a pretty tough cycle for one as unfit as me, and the wind was quite rough even on a calm, sunny day. But there’s regular places to stop and soak up the lovely views, which helps somewhat.
At the other side, you’re rewarded with a gentle, quiet downhill ride into the pretty town of Sausalito. It was less touristy than I was expecting, with lots of art galleries and ice cream parlours. We had some tasty (if slightly overpriced) Mexican food and strawberry lemonade at the Sausalito Taco Shop for lunch as a reward for all the cycling.
Sundown on the ferry back (no chance I was cycling back as well!)
Love the T64 pics! Glad you got some gorgeous purple hues out of the roll.
The Fisherman’s Wharf is pretty dreadful, isn’t it? The only saving graces I felt were the clam chowder and pots of fresh crab — though that doesn’t help a veggie such as yourself :(
Yeah, no good for me! Though we did enjoy the Musee Mechanique, did you go there?… blog to come…
Love the colours on the Lomo/Redscale film pictures!
Looks like the perfect afternoon!
Interesting to see the results of the Tungsten film on the OM10. I’ve got one myself and have been contemplating buying some of that film.
Kelly, I did edit the photos a bit in Photoshop to tone done some of the pinkness – they were much more bright pink beforehand so expect something quite extreme!
