Veronica, between all of Bubba's and my planned rides for the 4-day weekend plus social demands, I'd prefer to do the 37 mile course.
Are you going to try uploading GPX to routeslip? I'd love to see the course. I ride much better when I'm not disoriented on the route.

Mr. Bob and I will be out of town this weekend, but we'd love to join you for a ride on your birthday, if it's a road ride.
Or at least, see you at the start, and eventually at the finish.

The "shorter loop": It is 34 miles and 3400 feet to be more specific. I looked back. You can also hang a left at Rock Springs and go to the top of Tam if you want. That would add about 5 miles and 800 feet. Roughly.

Oh yeah, what is the traffic like on a holiday weekend? Do we need critical mass to just take over the road?

There will be traffic. But the direction I recommended should be better for traffic than if you were to just go up Tam from Mill Valley. Also, I recommend starting early. As early as you can stomach. That will help.
Are you meeting in Mill Valley? I had suggested meeting there at the Middle School - plenty of parking and right on the bike path. Then once you descend Tam you're done!Sarah
