The mountains near San Francisco Bay area
(Français)
Miles and miles of sinuous roads unfolding toward the mountains top, gathering several small villages is the portrait of the region from Santa Cruz on the west coast to the Saratoga village, where I was supposed to spend the night in a youth hostel. The region turned out to be filled with surprises, including many old cars driven by men with curly moustache gmdash; for a few hours, I thought I had travelled back in time! Finally, the thick fog was a not so nice surprise that interrupted my ride.
