 | |  |  | SBC Park / SF Giants: SBC Park | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
SBC Park, home of the Giants, from the outfield. This might be the most beautiful stadium in the USA, and it's right on the water too. Baseball season is from April through September, but you can get into the stadium any time of the year. Either pay for a tour, or get into the outfield bleachers for free, as I did. And, bring the kids too-they have a couple of baseball themed playgrounds-including in the big Coke bottle. Any time of the year, SBC Park is brilliant. Nice job, Giants!!!

| | | | Bike the Bridge | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Crossing the bridge does not necessarily include seeing the bridge... I felt kind of betrayed during the bike trip - because there was no bridge! But still, it was a great day!! Blazing Saddles is one of the companies renting bikes in SF, on various locations throughout the city. One is directly at Fisherman's Wharf. Bikes are great, you get a helmet, a lock, a little bag and a map. They show you exactly which way to go to cross The Bridge and explain various routes of different length. You even get a ferry ticket which you can return if you decide to cycle back over the bridge. They also take a picture of you before departure which you can buy upon return (nice pictures, but at 10 USD too expensive). You don't get any emergency kit for flat tyres etc, but they have a phone helpline. Which doesn't help much if you're cycling in the middle of nowhere.
Our tour was crossing the bridge in complete fog, then going down to sunny Sausalito, having lunch there and then cycle on to sunny Tiburon (whole trip about 25 km). There my tyre gave up but fortunately just a few meters away from the ferry. The ferry was very busy, full of cyclists, but a comfortable to get some rest. The maps are not perfect... it helps to watch out for people with the same bike/ same bag/ same map - it's a good sign you're on the right way. www.blazingsaddles.com Leave a Comment Theme: BikingDirections: Fisherman's WharfWebsite: www.blazingsaddles.com

| | | | Spectator Sports: NASCAR - America's Fastest Growing Sport | Tip Rating: | | | | |
I am not a fan or anything, other than I like cars and women. I don’t think I can watch a sport on the teli that showed the cars always going round and round, only making lefts. I can watch all the crashes on ESPN’s Spotscenter later on that night. But if I get FREE tickets, I’m there baby!!! I was disappointed there were not as many mullets as there was. However, amazed on the little city that sprouted up around this multi-day event and the ingenious methods of people carrying their vast quantities of personal beer. People make hitches and trailers to their ATV’s to carry their beer with them. Mullets or not, near a city like San Francisco or not, still rednecks.

Take Highway 37 eastbound toward Vallejo. Left at Highway 121. Track is one-quarter mile up on the left. (about 40 miles from SF)Website: www.infineonraceway.com
