lodging in SF at the end of a 3 week tour?

Velo - you are the second to mention Ft Mason...will have to check into that one!

Jo - ooo...oooo....oooooo!!!! you have a storage unit??? We are having a meeting with the other couple so I will mention it! We have spent way too little time planning that aspect of the trip...in fact little time at all (except setting up the bikes! I have been commuting as a tour'r just to see what it is like!)

Not sure of budget...do not think it is that tight! but you never know...

Thanks

Yep, it's called a garage.

I second (or third?) the hostel at Fort Mason. If you want to ride your bikes into SF you could bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, or take the ferry from nearby Larkspur into SF. I think there are busses that go near Ft Mason as well.

hint:
when I went to visit cousins in Italy by myself my cousins all opened their doors and welcomed me into their homes.
When I came back with husband and two sons in tow, they told me where the hotels were. There are 4 of you. Most generous and friendly people blanch at the idea of 4 strangers in their homes.

But not their bike boxes.

D'oh, I was thinking of the Marin Headlands hostel when I wrote that.

Here's the description of the Ft Mason hostel, near Fisherman's Wharf, which would probably be an ideal location for you.

I frequent the city- and because of traffic and other hassles, usually stay in Berkley or Oakland, and take the Bart into the city. Saves a big hassle and a ton o' cash.

Either way, enjoy the city. It is so beautiful.
