We're going to try this again, if the heavens behave themselves for a while.

Non-technical but long mtb ride

Start: Natalie Green Park (off Lagunitas Road near Ross)
Time: 9 am, ready to ride as soon after as possible
Length: 20-24 miles
Climbing: Lots! We’re going to ride all the way around the mountain and then some.

We’ll ride a lollypop loop starting with the stick. We’ll wind our way up Shaver Grade past Bon Tempe Lake and Lake Lagunitas to Eldridge Grade where we’ll grind our way up (it’ll be fun, trust me!) to the fun Hoo Koo E Koo trail. We’ll roll over to the legendary Rail Road Grade and twiddle up to the historic West Point Inn (restrooms and water). After this respite, we’ll have a last climb to the summit at East Peak so you can pat yourself on the back and laugh at all the people who drove up! Those lazy bums.

We’ll them zoom down the paved road to Rock Springs – Lagunitas where we’ll be back on dirt, noses headed down a long, long hill. Make sure your brakes are tuned and fully operational! They will be squealing like a pig by the time you get back to Lake Lagunitas where we pick up the lollypop stick past the lakes once again.

Be sure to bring layers as Mt Tam is notorious for sunny weather on one side and cold/drippy weather on the other (think a poached egg ) - even in summer.

Bike Bus will leave Davis by 7 am.
