The end of Bolinas Ridge nearest Bolinas-Fairfax Road (Bo-Fax to locals) is mucky and muddy for the first mile or two. Even in high "dry" summer, you can find it sloppy and wet. That ridge steals all the moisture off the coastal fog and traps it there.
After a bit, the ground hardens up (different surface) and by the time you are at the far end (near Sir Francis Drake) it can be completely baked (and/or washboard trail surface). One of the reasons it's always an interesting equation of gear and clothing here... ;^) Sorry to have missed your excursion - my mother in law finally passed away at Christmas, and family has had my close attention for the past couple months. Glad you got to enjoy part of our local playground and you couldn't have asked for a better guide than Manny! - Jim / [email protected] / cyclofiend.com On Monday, January 7, 2013 8:55:31 AM UTC-8, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > Part deux: > > http://hiawathacyclery.blogspot.com/2013/01/sf-bike-adventure-part-2.html > > > > On Sunday, January 6, 2013 10:27:13 PM UTC-6, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery > wrote: >> >> In the Marin Headlands Miwok/Bobcat/Marincello/Tennessee Valley all link >> together, and for the most part are relatively easy riding.
