This will be my first trip to California, my husband lived there for several years, in the SF area. We are riding the Sea Otter ride and the Breakaway from Cancer ride, in the week in between staying in SF at the uh...Mark Hopkins? Anyway, one of the things he has wanted to do is ride to...and through....Muir Woods. It is close, I understand, to SF. I would like to plan out a ride (without him knowing about it) starting either in SF or maybe Sausalito (?) that would take us there, and, if possible, through the park, and wind up back at the car or the hotel, and afterwards a nice dinner and beer (not so fancy that I have to wear heels). 50 miles or so is probably max, since we are already doing two big, long, hilly rides....less would be fine. We will have our road bikes, so only paved roads. Can anyone suggest a good starting point (if the hotel isn't a good one), general route, or other helpful suggestions...including dinner after bike?
