I actually did a mock-up for a track on the streets of San Francisco:

While it may seem like a shame it won't get near the Golden Gate bridge, I think the Nob Hill-Fisherman's Warff area would make a more interesting track. Let me take you through:

  • Start/finish is on Broadway Street, near the intersection with Columbus.
    Image
  • Breaking downhill and when you level out, a sharp turn left onto Front street, and after a short run, a double right onto The Embarcadero.
    Image
  • Quick straight over The Embarcadero past the Waterfront, before turning right onto Mission Street.
    Image
    Image
  • Another right onto fremont street into the high building Financial District, to then turn left for another straight, up the hill on California Street.
    Image
    Image
  • After Huntington Park, turn right onto Taylor Street past the big church.
    Image
  • Take a sharp left at Clay Street for another dash up the hill.
  • Levelling out at Jones street, they take a left, passing Sacramento to dive down the hill!
    Image
  • A quick right onto the broad California Street for a further dash downhill.
    Image
  • Turn right onto Van Ness Avenue and take the next left up the hill onto Sacramento.
  • Up and over the hill, past Lafayette Park to turn right onto Laguna Street.
    Image
  • Sweep right onto Pacific Avenue, and then left to dive down Octavia Street.
    Image
    Image
  • Break hard to fight gravity and turn right onto Broadway Street for a long straight.
  • Running down into the Broadway Tunnel for the run towards the start-finish line...
    Image
  • ...who will emerge from the tunnel first and take victory?
    Image

And of course, a map:

I thought up a track round Aberdeen a while back. Might do the same thing at some point.
