Before we ride, we'll have a quick check in to get to know everyone and to better understand everyone's ability level and expectations... and a safety chat. We'll begin our ride by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge! A must do! We'll ride up into Marin County from there, passing through Sausalito and Mill Valley. There are coffee stops along the way, water stops as well and once we hit Mill Valley, we hit dirt (if we haven't already, there are options). This loop, in it's entirety from the bridge is about 45 miles with between 4000 and 5000 feet of climbing. There is a mixture of pavement, fire road, singletrack and bike paths. Expect about 4.5 hours of ride time give or take depending on your desired pace. There are points for insanely beautiful views, snacks, a little area history and more. Note that this ride can be tailored to meet your needs. A little about me; I've been guiding cycling trips for over 10 years professionally and have 25 years in the cycling industry. My intention is to showcase this beautiful place and everything it has to offer cyclists. You'll get to ride the best trails, get the best coffee, eat the best food and get tips for all kinds of other activities!
