I can think of 3-4 great rides using China Camp as a start-end point and covering a few different types of ride:
1. A mellow ride around the Paradise Loop rollers. Only one medium-size hill along the way. So, a climb out and a climb back in. I would figure the basic loop would be ~25 miles(???), but can be extended with some easy miles and cover a range of great places for a lunch, including a great little seafood shack right out on the pier ;) http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Paradise-Loop http://www.331fish.com/ 2. A medium-effort ride out to Point Reyes and the great Bovine Bakery. Several climbs to deal with, but the scenery is worth it. And none of the hills are killers, though the baked goods may be. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/point-reyes-loop http://www.thebovinebakery.com/ 3. A harder ride up Mt. Tam either on paved road or trail, followed by the Seven Sisters rollers, the beautiful descent to Alpine Dam, the climb out to beer and sausages in Fairfax, and an easy bit back to China Camp. http://www.strava.com/activities/29392795 http://www.yelp.com/biz/gestalt-haus-fairfax-fairfax 4. A dirt ride: There are lots of single-track-type dirt rides right in China Camp, and many more in the immediate surroundings. http://www.marinfattire.com/chinacampbiketrails.html http://mikesbikes.com/articles/mountain-bike-trails-marin-north-bay-pg126.htm One question I had is it seems many Riv owners own more than one Riv. How many will be packing more than one to the Jamboree? I mention this in hopes of there being some sort of Entmoot called during the event, as that's the only Riv I own. http://arwen-undomiel.com/sc/ttt/Entmoot/Entmoot020.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/visiondrawn/4360903195/ Lee On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 11:01 PM, Anne Paulson <anne.paul...@gmail.com>wrote: > Of course we should have crazy rides for people who want crazy rides. > Point is, we should also mellow rides for people who want mellow > rides. > > On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 10:55 PM, Manuel Acosta > <manueljohnaco...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Great thing about these big events is that it gives folks options. > > I don't mind trying to figure out a ride for those looking for doing > > something stupid. > > > > > > On Thursday, August 22, 2013 10:40:51 PM UTC-7, Anne Paulson wrote: > >> > >> Yay for Riv Chicas on new Bettys.
