I will provide everyone with a map before we ride and we will have riders marking the route with arrows along the way. Below are the routes with SAG stops noted.

 

Routes:

 

NOTE: Both routes start at Piccolo park in old Corte Madera, then all riders go up Chapman Dr. TO Camino Alto TO the beginning of Middle Summit trail (with the pump house at the junction) DOWN Sarah Dr. TO Linda Vista Dr. TO Buena Vista Ave. (left) past Mill Valley golf course TO W. Blithedale (right) TO Railroad Grade. From there the options will be:

 

1. Hard and Beautiful: (about 24 miles): Railroad Grade TO cutoff up to Blithedale Ridge TO Indian Rd. (left) TO Eldridge TO E. Ridgecrest Blvd (top of Eldridge) TO Railroad TO West Point Inn TO Old Stage Rd. TO Pantoll (TAKE A SAG BREAK AND PUT ON JACKET IF NEEDED BEFORE THE COASTAL DESCENT) TO Coastal TO Hwy 1 (TAKE A SAG BREAK, AND CATCH THE SAG BACK TO PICCOLO PARK IF YOU WANT) TO Pelican Inn/Muir Beach TO Zen Farm/Middle Green Gulch TO Coyote TO Miwok TO top of Tennessee Valley Rd. TO Bicentennial Bike path in Mill Valley TO bike trail along Lomita TO Vasco (left) TO Underhill (right) TO Coach TO fire road up over the hill TO Sausalito St. (down) TO Tamalpais (right) TO Piccolo Park. Done!

 

2. Easier and Beautiful: (about 15 miles): Railroad Grade TO West Point Inn TO Old Stage Rd. TO Pantoll Ranger Station (TAKE A SAG BREAK AND PUT ON JACKET IF NEEDED BEFORE THE COASTAL DESCENT) TO Coastal TO Hwy 1. SAG vehicles will be waiting in the parking area across Hwy 1 to take riders back to Corte Madera. Done!

 

Please be prepared to be self sufficient on the ride. Carry a phone, extra tube (or two), a way to pump it up, water, food (if you think you may need it between the SAG stops), and clothing layers. It could easily be 70 and sunny on the east side of Tam and 50 and foggy on the coast.
