We had a fairly short ride today, only 30 miles. It was such an awesome ride from Samuel P. Taylor Park to San Francisco. The weather was warm and sunny. The route went through Marin, where I do a lot of cycling so it was fun to now be returning over familiar roads from such an incredible trip. It was much hillier than I remember and we are both fatigued and very much looking forward to resting up at my place in San Francisco.
Out of curiosity, we weighed our bikes and gear once we got up to my apartment. My bike, the Randonee, weighs in at 39.7 lbs including 3 full water bottles and no gear. My gear totals 59.8 lbs for a combined total of 99.5 lbs. We are also out of bread, peanut butter and bananas, so let's make it an even 100 lbs that I have been pushing the past 1,227 miles. Sam's totals come in at 30 lbs for bike (the Saratoga) + 3 full water bottles and 27.5 lbs of gear for a total of 57.5 lbs. Which may explain why 
I've lost 13 lbs on this trip so far and why Sam weighs the same as when we started. It is so good to be home and sleep in my own bed.
