I'm here converting miles into kms, so it's about 640km from LA to SF. Distances are an occupational hazard for me, so assuming the roads are similar to here, it should be right. Longest I've done in one day is Canberra to Brisbane, which is around 700 miles, and in the US we're doing it over several days.

I'm going to do the steep, steep SF street and Hearst Castle, as well as ditching my travelling companions and heading over to Alcatraz.

I've also got to take care of my ESTA thingy coz I've heard things about them planning on introducing some thing where they can demand to see 5 years of social media. I'll save them the time and collect all my Trump memes into a single easy to laugh at folder on my phone so I can whip it out and share it if requested

Thanks for the links
