I've been thinking about this for a while now...
There are a few hills, but it's mostly flat. SF and Marin are flat. The E. bay will have some challenging hills, and so will the peninsula. I did the Northern Section about a year ago... and man was I tired... So... doing this in a day will take a little training I suppose... or a higher pain tolerance... Anyone wanna do it with me? It may take 2 days...
Let's assume 15 mph... riding with a 30 min break every 3 hours... Would be about 10 hours 40 min of riding... with 3 breaks totaling 90 min. So it'd take at least 13 hours. Probably more like 15 or 16.
Currently there is 12 hours of day light... hmm...

we do a variation of your peninsula route on the way to work... abt 50 miles from sf to mtn view.... is your purpose to ride around the bay or to do a challenging ride around the bay? cos there is a way down to mtn view that is 40 miles and very flat. takes less than 3 hrs (versus the 4 hrs on the skyline-incorporating route). i think i have a route for berkeley to mtv also (never tried myself)
Ah yes... that'd probably help. I haven't really looked into the southern section as I haven't seriously considered it yet... but I'll hit you up for the routes when I do.
