The Route

Our third ride will introduce you to climbing.  Our 34.7.2 mile route has 2,082 feet of climbing as we head out to Nicaso and Big Rock. We will leave Hal Brown and head out through Fairfax before our first climb - White Hill.  After you have summited, you will enjoy a nice descent before climbing Nicasio Hill.  Our rest stop will be at Rancho Nicasio where awesome (I may have exaggerated right there) Porta Potties await.  After you are rested up we will head out Lucas Valley road and climb up to Big Rock.  Get that camera Ready - the Big (medium actually) Rock is photo worthy. Our second rest stop and food will be at Peets Coffee at Northgate Mall before returning to Hal Brown. Dont let those hills scare you.  There is noting wrong with resting on climbs!
