The pedal across the GG should be pretty cool - do you know which roads they're closing and when? I imagine it'll be easier to get to a good spot on a moto.
From the Marin County Bicycle Coalition:

Amgen Tour of California-SausalitoGolden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation DistrictThe Amgen Tour of California crosses the Golden Gate Bridge (Bridge) roadway for the first time as part of Stage 2, which begins in downtown Sausalito at 8:30 am on Bridgeway at Spinnaker Drive, a short walk from the ferry landing. Stage 2 is 115.9 miles and ends in Santa Cruz. The race peloton will cross the Bridge roadway at approximately 8:40 am to 8:50 am.
No parking and no drop-offs will be allowed at the Golden Gate Bridge. Parking lots and exits will be closed at midnight. Golden Gate Ferry will add a departure from the San Francisco Ferry Terminal at 7 am for a 7:30 in arrival in Sausalito.
For complete details of the impacts at and near the bridge, click here. Here are a few of the key highlights:
* Bridge roadway remains open to traffic during the event, with the two eastern most traffic lanes being used by the race. By approximately 10:30 am, the Bridge roadway will be returned to 3 northbound lanes and 3 southbound lanes.
* All parking areas and exits off 101 at the Bridge will be closed, midnight to approximately 10:30 am.
* Southbound Merchant Rd./25th Ave. exit, at the toll plaza, will remain open; intersection of Merchant Rd. & Lincoln Blvd. will be closed 7:30 am to 10:30 am.
* Conzelman Road portion under the north approach viaduct of the Bridge remains open only to bicyclists and pedestrians, as it always is.
* Alexander Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic from 6 am to 10:30 am and remain open only to bicycle and pedestrian traffic during this time.
* Spectators will have to hike or ride to access the Bridge sidewalks as follows: East sidewalk will open only to pedestrians at 5 am. No bicycles will be allowed on the east sidewalk and the West sidewalk will open only to bicyclists at 5 am. Accessing the Bridge Sidewalks from 5 am to 10:30 am will be very challenging due to all of the parking lot closures in the vicinity. Valet bike parking will be provided at Vista Point and in the southeast visitor area. The public will be able to access the Bridge sidewalks via Battery East Rd. on the south end and via Conzelman Rd. from East Fort Baker on the north end.
