Blazing Saddles- You're Not Kidding

Tyler and I finished up at the hospital today- things went well- and we headed for the bikes. I hadn't given much thought to the name of this bike business. Blazing Saddles. About a mile up the trail we decided it was well named. By the time we got to the bridge we wished we were getting off our saddle but still had another two and a half miles to the city of Sausalito. We made it but are both suffering from a serious case of- we never ride bikes and have sore bottoms.

 The bridge is pretty much amazing. It was genius to paint it red. Ty and I took it nice and slow. There were a few serious hill climbs but we made it without much trouble. We didn't even crash or anything. There were a few close calls.

 Ty and I still smiling while on our bikes. We had made it across the bridge at this point and were heading downhill into Sausalito. We heard a seal barking and pulled off the path to get a look at the cute guys. There were two of them wrestling in the water. Ty and I decided it would be cool to jump off the bridge and on the way into the water morph into a seal so we could swim around like the seals for a while.

 We ate pizza at a great little restaurant near the water and headed for the ferry. Unfortunately we just missed it, or I should say, there were more bikers than space so we weren't allowed to load. We had to wait for an hour for the next ferry. We sat and read our books, Ty was happy, and watched the sun set over San Francisco. It was fun to see the lights all come on and the skyline take on it's night time glory.

Ty in the ferry with the Bay Bridge as we were heading back towards San Francisco. I was proud of Tyler. He was a trooper. We had to bike clear back to the night garage check-in which was no easy task in the dark. He followed right behind me, stayed in the bike lane and was cheerful and happy the whole time. I could hardly sit on my tailbone by this point. Tyler said after that he liked it, it was hard but he liked it. Then he realized that the reason he liked the ride was because it was hard but he did it anyway. He's such a cool kid. It has been fun hanging out with Ty for the last two weeks. He doesn't even complain about my obsession with HGTV at night. His favorite is Property Brothers. That's my guy! Only two treatments left. I think we are going to make it through this.
