Kirils 1 #1 September 17, 2002 I will be out in SanFrancisco CA on business twice over the next month. I'll have a couple free days to jump. I will be staying at the Pan Pacific. This is my first time in SF. Could anyone recommend a DZ close by? Thanks! and if anyone would like to meet for drinks...."Slow down! You are too young to be moving that fast!"

nws01 0 #3 September 17, 2002 I just got back from San Francisco yesterday. I had a great time. I was there for business so I could not make it to the dz. I did however rent a mountain bike at Pier 29 and rode it through downtime and along the Golden Gate Trail over the bridge, through the Coast Guard area into Sausalito. Then a ferry will bring you back over the bay and back to the pier. Try to do it if you have time. It is a great way to see the city and get some good photographs.

The ride across the bridge and down into Sausalito is fabulous! ALL downhill...heehee. Lunch in Sausalito and the ferry ride back cools you off! I recommend that tour too, is well worth it!

They had a road race that day and watching Lance Armstrong fly over those hills motivated me. I kept getting leg cramps on the plane though because my muscles were so tired.

From San Francisco I recomend Byron, Lodi, and Davis for the Twin Turbine big DZ's experienced jumpers etc... Santa Rosa is a little 182 DZ just north of SF but beautiful views. Down south a bit further of a drive for you is Monterey and Hollister. Hollister being my home DZ at the moment. Both beautiful places. As for brews send me a PM just before you get to town and maybe meet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lummy 4 #8 September 17, 2002 you have..... All from SF.

I just got on the video flyer rotation at Byron, and I'm there all day on Saturdays, after the tandems are gone, I'd love to jump with you. We have good load organization for both FF and RW. I think Byron has the best vibe, but it's my home DZ and I'm biased. If you can make it out for the boogie Sept 27, 28, 29, you won't be disappointed. There is always beer at the end of the day. Try Davis one time and then Byron.
