you are certainly welcome! staying off the trails is a good bet--it'll take a while to dry out after this much consistent rain.
i'll be back in town this thursday, and will have to go to work (already took the holiday vacation), so i won't be able to join you. if you need any bits or tools to solve any issues, i'm in oakland and can help you out with that though. don't miss the bovine bakery in pt reyes station, and there's a nice fireroad near there that is 3 miles or so out to arch rock--it's very easy (even in the rain, i'd imagine), and there's a bike rack where it closes to bikers. that's a nice spot to hit when the weather is bad, since it's easy enough--bad weather is magic for having trails to yourself, too, even here! 28s'd be ok, as it's well maintained by the national park service. anyway, here's a link to that hike described by a hiker; http://www.bahiker.com/northbayhikes/prbv.html and photos from my blog; here <http://bikenoir.blogspot.com/2009/11/marin-minitour-203.html> and then here <http://bikenoir.blogspot.com/2009/12/marin-minitour-25-3.html> enjoy the riding! it's a wonderful time to be out, i find these misty rainy days to be so calming on the bike. erik On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 1:36 AM, James Warren <[email protected]>wrote: > > I want to take a moment to thank Erik Jensen, Mike, Jim E, and Phil > Bickford for their extremely informative advice on underbiking it on Bolinas > Ridge Fire Road in Marin County, CA.
