California peeps?

I can do you up a quick route on Ride with GPS. What day of the week would you be going? I ask because traffic will factor in to which way I take you.

Ok -

Here's the route to Muir Woods from Sports Basement Presidio (610 Old Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94129 (415) 437-0100 (they have good parking and who knows, you may want to shop.)

NOTE: The (stupid) program would NOT Take me on the (very clearly marked) bike paths in two locations and instead routes you on the highway. DO NOT take the highway! ! These locations are:

1. The Golden Gate Bridge. There is a clearly marked bike/ped path - once you get to the base of the bridge you should be able to find it.
2. Between Sausalito and Mill Valley. There is a ped/bike path right to the left of the onramp to Hwy 101. Take that just for the length of the highway's run to the next off ramp which is Hwy 1, the road you want to go on.

Here is the return route, which takes you a slightly different way for a spot with a great view:

Again, note the two areas where you do NOT follow the route onto the highway.

Note the return through the Presidio to Sports Basement is different - pay attention to this because there are road closures in there and you cannot go back the way you came (unless you go wrong way down a short 1 way street).

I suggest you go here for GREAT Beer and casual food - it is between your hotel and the sports Basement:

Rogue Ales Public House
North Beach
673 Union Street
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 362-7880
