LOCAL - “ISH”. THE BRIDGE TOUR

2 SAN MATEO BRIDGE

3 BAY BRIDGE

4 THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

Here’s what I like to do;

Any random early Saturday morning, I head North from San Jose on 101 to the Dunbarton Bridge across to 880, up to the San Mateo Bridge back to the 101, North to the Bay Bridge to 580 to the Richmond San Rafael Bridge to Marin.

Hang out. There’s a really cool cafe on Grant Avenue in Novato called Dr Insomniac’s

Then down in across the Golden Gate to 280 back to San Jose

Beautiful, relaxing drive with the right tunes and in any weather
