Bike Ride on Mt. Tamalpais, California, Pictures
This was a Western Wheelers club ride that started at Tamalpais High
School in Mill Valley, climbed up through the hills of Mill Valley to Four Corners, the junction of Panoramic Highway and Muir Woods Rd. We continued south on Panoramic Highway, then turned north on CA1, descended to Muir Beach, then climbed again over the ridge between Muir Beach and the cliffs south of Stinson Beach. At Stinson Beach we turned right and climbed Panoramic Highway to Pan-Toll Rd., continued uphill to Ridgecrest Blvd., then west on Ridgecrest to the end of the road at the Mt. Tamalpais East Peak parking area. We returned west on Ridgecrest then descended Fairfax-Bolinas Rd. to the Lake Alpine Dam and continued on to Fairfax. From Fairfax we headed west on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. up the steep side of White's Hill, then down the San Geronimo Valley into a stiff headwind, then detoured off of the busy road onto the bike path in Samuel Taylor Park. We returned to the main road at Platform Bridge and climbed over the short hill to Olema and then headed north to Pt. Reyes Station for a break. Our return trip took us northeast on Pt. Reyes-Petaluma Rd. past Nicasio Reservoir, then south on Nicasio Rd. through Nicasio, then over the short hill to San Geronimo where we rode up the concrete slabs of the old road past Woodacre to rejoin Sir Francis Drake Blvd. for the climb up the easy side of White's Hill. From Fairfax we stayed on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. to Kentfield, then cut over to Magnolia on Bon Aire past Marin General Hospital and rode the usual bike route over the hill from Corte Madera to Mill Valley. (86 miles; 7000 feet climbed) Thanks to Piaw Na and Miguel Guterres for taking a few of the pictures in this album. http://tinyurl.com/ax6k4 -- Bill Bushnell http://pobox.com/~bushnell/ |
