Sunday, August 24th we have a ride that is a favorite of ours – Wilson Hill to Petaluma! This is a SOCIAL ride. Meaning no TRLs, no route sheets, no support. Just a bunch of friends having a fun bike ride. You are riding at your own risk!
We will head out on the 62-mile route with 3,492 feet of climbing. Leaving Hal Brown, we will head up and over White Hill, Nicasio Hill, Cheese Factory Hill for a rest. Leaving there we conquer Wilson Hill as we head into Petaluma for lunch. Once fueled up we will make our way back through Novato stopping at the Marin Coffee Roasters for the final rest stop of the day. So far, the weather is looking good! Let’s all cross our fingers the wind Gods look favorably upon us.
