Saturday was a free day for me. So I decided to ride up to Mt. Tam. Weather people said the rain would stop but it didn't. From Golden Gate Park I rode to Salsalito drenched. While looking for the road up I get the wrong directions from a cop that took me 20 miles away from my tam. into larkspur. After buying a map from a local gas station, I finally back track and find my way back to the Pan toll Road. Weather was looking good so I rode up the old stage road to the eastern peak. Getting up to Mt. tam I run into snow, waterfalls and mud. I start cramping up and stop a handful of times but determine to reach the top after dealing with so much hassle. After finally getting to the top I am greeted with fog and no spectacular view of the bay. Coming down from the east peak I make the wrong turn again. By this time I spent and I'm debating whether I should just call the girlfriend to pick me up, knowing full well that she wouldn't because she doesn't want to pay toll for the bridge. I luck out when I ask directions to a single old lady in the middle of no where. She was apparently a park ranger and was taking the bus back to marin city. She convinced me to take the bus back to the city, so I do. But I miss my stop and end up riding from downtown all the way back to sunset when my girlfriend lives. When she opens the door I find myself laying on her carpeted floor for a number of hours. Despite the weather, the lost directions and seriously bonking, the trip was amazing adventure that I'm willing to do again... in better weather.
