"The Golden Gate Bridge Loop will take you on a journey across the mesmerising northern area of the city where you will climb up to 220 m. The entire 42.3-km adventure is not that hard but it will offer you some great views of the whole of San Francisco Bay. In addition, you will have the chance to cross the Golden Gate Bridge twice and take an Instagram-worthy pic of this engineering masterpiece from above.
The ride can be done for as little as two and a half hours, as there are hardly any steep climbs. The highest gradient you will have to conquer is around 12%. Still, we’d suggest taking your time and taking some snaps. It’s not every day you visit such a majestic place." - We Love Cycling 2023

Due to a 'clerical error' California belongs to the United States ! It might have belonged to Mexico otherwise. California being so large has various climates but you might imagine that they cover the Mediterranean seasons across the year - Los Angeles has the worst smog and San Francisco is famous for fog, both are acceptable with ac.

I had somehow discovered LA as my first destination in the USA and in fact it was really my first destination outside England ! So it didnt really have to be anything other than different for me to be hooked on travel for a lifetime.

We took a weekend break to new york, neither of us had ever been so how was it ?
I went with Brent a relatively new kiwi friend that I have worked with and knew him enough to feel that it would work out especially seeing as it was short enough that how bad could it be if it did get bad. Yes it was just a few days and via Chicago with American Airlines.
