Bike the Bridge to Sausalito and Tiburon and Return with the Blue and Gold Fleet …… Angel Island too!

 Bike the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and Tiburon and return on the ferry! Blazing Saddles’ goal is to make your bike ride the best part of your trip to San Francisco. Biking the bridge is a fun and enjoyable activity for the beginner to the advanced rider. It’s easy pedaling on the new and scenic National Park bike path staring at the Aquatic Park just a few blocks down from Blue and Gold Fleet’s Pier 41 Marine Terminal on The Embarcadero. From there you will go through Fort Mason, the Marina, and Presidio National Park to the Golden Gate Bridge. You’ll cross the bridge on the sidewalk, then coast downhill into Sausalito for fabulous seaside dining before catching the Blue and Gold ferry back to San Francisco. If you haven’t had enough fun by now, the ride only gets better: the world’s tallest trees are an easy 30 minute ride beyond Sausalito in Old Mill Park in Mill Valley.  From there, it’s a beautiful ride along the Bay to the picturesque town of Tiburon where you can also relax on the Blue & Gold ferry back to Pier 41 in San Francisco.

 Another perfect Bay Area biking destination is Angel Island State Park, as no public motor vehicles are allowed on the island making it a great family venue. Pick up your bike at our Pier 41 location and then catch the Blue and Gold Fleet ferry to Angel Island. Start at Ayala Cove and ride the five mile Perimeter Road enjoying the panoramic views of the Bay and the San Francisco Skyline while visiting the historic buildings and the recently renovated Immigration Station that compose Angel Island’s rich history. But the fun continues as there are over 13 miles of foot trails and fire roads circling the island, also leading to the 788-foot high summit of Mt. Livermore. Angel Island offers several beautiful areas for picnics as well a snack bar near the ferry dock. Check Blue and Gold Fleet’s Angel Island ferry schedule for departure times.
