Join us for a 'kinder, gentler' Tiburon loop! This month we are starting in Corte Madera instead of at Mike's Bikes in Sausalito in order to avoid the Mill Valley music festival. This reduces the mileage from 24 to just 19 miles! This shortened route keeps the best part--Paradise Drive and Tiburon--and ditches the moshpit on the Golden Gate Bridge and the slog up Alexander, which is always into a headwind. Yes, you can eat dessert first!
We'll meet up with the San Francisco group along the way and continue on the standard loop through Corte Madera by the Corte Madera-Larkspur Path over to Paradise Drive. We'll all stop at Woodlands Market in Tiburon for refreshment outside before returning. We then bid the San Francisco bound riders adieu at the turn-off onto the Mill Valley bike path as we back to Corte Madera the easy way.
Meet at 10:15 AM for a 10:30 AM roll out.
Bring snacks and water.
If weather is iffy, contact ride leaders on whether the ride is still a go or is cancelled.
