From Mill Valley up Mt. Tamalpais to the summit with a return down the Seven Sisters to Fairfax and Mill Valley.
Now we are getting into some serious climbing to prepare for Mount Hamilton. Going all the way to East Peak is optional but highly recommended. There are several possible coffee stops after all the climbing and we can select at the ride out.
