My big trip is gonna start next Saturday. Two of my cousins and I will be riding up to International Falls, then up around Canada a ways, then they will head back home. Me, I'm gonna take a sharp turn and drive across Canada to Vancouver, where I'm gonna meet up with Keith for some mountain riding for a couple of days.
After that, back down south, maybe as far as San Francisco, via highway 1, then head back east across the northern states, back to Iowa. I'm kinda debating about San Francisco, though. I'd like to see some of the sights (Golden Gate, Haight Asbury) but it's a ways down there and I worry about traffic. I can DO traffic in big cities, but I try to avoid it when I can. Any suggestions/advice regarding SF? Is there a good way I can leave the bike somewhere and get around some other way? Sights I should take in? And, any suggestions about routes back home will be considered.
