My wife and I are planning to go there next weekend. Any tips? We
haven't been to the island before. We're going to be coming from
Mountain View.

My wife was looking and it seemed like the tickets were more expensive

It's not about the length of the ride, but the depth of the
adventure. Taking young children on this trip is fantastic. They
must have had a blast & that's what it's all about. Congrats on
getting the weather to cooperate! Now when they want to start picking
out their own gear, you kn

OK, this is the kind of video that I think only my relatives and maybe
some soft-hearted fellow parents will enjoy, but here is my little

One of the really enlightening parts of this trip was that my buddy
Kurt and both of his kids were on department store bikes that each
cost less than a Crystal Fellow seatpost, and they had a blast. Sure,
Kurt's trip was made possible by the fact that I loaned him a $300

I did my first real S24O last year on Angel Island as well with my son
and daughter. We took Caltrain from Palo Alto, rode to the Ferry and
then rode both the paved and dirt trails on the island. It was a lot
of fun but it was very windy and chilly when exposed. Our campsite was

July weekend and it was cold from the wind. Quite windy.
I'm going to take advantage of your post to book another weekend...
Have fun!!!

I did the same trip on July 5-6 taking advantage of the long weekend. I took
my oldest daughter and my son with me and we had a blast. I've been

I'd love to see it, but your video is showing up as "private" at the

year. The SlickerSack is under the yellow cover with a Hennessy ham
Clearly I fall in the soft-hearted parents category:)
I'll be sharing this with my son tonight. And placing a WTB for a
