Silly Question - shower after Golden Gate Bike ride
Dear all,
I'll be in San Francisco late June to attend a meeting. After reading this forum , I dicided to take a bike ride of the Golden Gate for my last and only free day
I will stay in Marriott SF downtown. I have to check out at noon and leave all my stuff there. After a light lunch, I'll take public transport to the peer and rent the bike there.
It should be 5 or 6pm when I return by ferry.
My silly question is :
WHERE CAN I TAKE A SHOWER ?
You may find it crazy but I've to catch the flight at mid-night (01:30 next day be exact) ..... it takes 16+ hours to Hong Kong. Those sit next to me must kill me right on the plane.
Will it be too demanding to ask the hotel if I can use their Gym ? (even I've checked out)
Is there any place I can just take a shower and change cloths near Fishman's Wharf ?
Your input are much appreciated

Yikes! Not a silly question at all. I would negotiate with the hotel upon arrival. Otherwise, I am betting there are showers at the airport, but that still leaves you smelling yourself for too long.
Enjoy the ride!

Not silly at all, and considerate of fellow passengers. Yes, tell the hotel your plans and that you'd like to use a shower afterwards ... if they have shower facilities near the pool. They'd not likely let you use a room.
If that fails, try a gym/health club. They might charge $5 or so, but worth it.

there is a free shuttle every 15 minutes in the park, take you all over if that changes your needs. I just took it this past weekend. I too had planned on the bike ride but did not find the wind or hills agreeable to my level of fitness....Nice way to say I was not up to the task. Park is pretty flat but going and coming in the park will be a task unless you are tip top shape

An alternative - use wet towlettes or baby wipes. You can do it in any restroom.
I also heard from a group, they exercise during lunch hour and use Febreeze.
Also spray desodorant and a little parfume or cologne may be helpful.
