    Raiders got up which was good for them. We met a lot of the players and staff during the week. Much nicer trip home for them.

Once we had the bikes, it was a lovely still day in the morning for a ride to the bridge over the bridge and down the other side into Sausalito. Enjoyed a meatball sandwich before catching the ferry back to Fishermans wharf Pier 39. Said hello to the sea lions 🦭. Dropped in at the left-handed shop before heading home. Returned to pier 39 for some clam chowder for dinner overall a fun day ready for a good night sleep.Read more
