I was itching to get out of the city and just ride. So a small group of us headed North to Mill Valley, Panoramic, Pan Toll / Mt Tam, Ridgecrest, Bolinas-Fairfax, Alpine Dam, Fairfax… and back home. About 65 miles, very hilly, and took us all day (with the requisite stops for Sol Food limeade, looking at the ocean, burgers, and beer).

Crystal clear day, panoramic views of San Francisco, the ocean, Bolinas, Mt Tam, wildflowers in bloom, green hills covered in green, gold, and purple. Photos can’t really convey it, but the section of Ridgecrest above Bolinas is especially beautiful right now and one of my favorite few miles of riding: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=pan+toll+road+and+e+ridgecrest+blvd&daddr=ridgecrest+and+fairfax-bolinas+road

I never get tired of the fact that I can bike to somewhere this beautiful without driving.
