Modern Vespa

What a fantastic day. We ( Steve, Joe, Dave, Lydia, Gerome and I) all met at Java Beach at 10:00am, talked and got aqauinted. We departed for the Golden Gate Bridge parking lot (SF side) to wait for others.

No one showed by the departure time of 12:00noon so we took off. Crossed the Golden Gate Bridge without a glitch and rode up into the Marin Headlands towards the Point Benicia Lighthouse. We took in the sights and the sun then began our way back towards civilization.

At this point Gerome had to return home as the rest of us went our way towards Sausalito. We rode up into the Mt. Tamalpais area and headed towards Stinson Beach. We stopped at the Sand Dollar for lunch with Bluegrass music. Nice company and weather.

We returned to the city and wrapped up the ride with a detour through the Presidio, Palace of Fine Arts, Marina, Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, Lombard St. North Beach, China Town and finally Union Sq.

Like I said, what a fantastic day.

Her I am just ready to start towards Java Beach.

Here is the group of the day.

Above Fort Chronkite, Marin Headlands. The sun did come out.

Lunch in Stinson Beach at the Sand Dollar sans Blue Grass.

We arrived at Coit Tower.

This was enjoyed by all. So I beleive I will continue posting rides on various occasions. One of the members today (Joe) suggested San Francisco tour themed rides. I like the idea, I also like the ride we did today as we put quite a few miles on the tires. If anyone is interested in these rides let me know. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks Sean for a great tour of S.F. and Marin. It's great to meet new friends into Scootering especially someone that knows the City like you do. Lets keep in touch.

I'd definitely be up for a "neighborhood tour" by scooter of San Fran. I love the city - my wife and I try to get up there whenever possible (which, due to my work schedule, isn't more than once every couple months or so) - and I've never seen it by scooter.
