Fun rides!!
I did a 115 miler with 11,110 feet of climbing in Marin to prepare for the Death Ride. I had a few folks in my group do the ride and I rode with this one woman I have been coaching and I swear if I have to pull her up Carson she is doing all five passes!
Our ride started in Kentfield, climbed to the top of Mt. Tamalpais via Alpine Dam (and like tomgrrl - everything below Tam was covered in fog - very cool.) We then descended to Stinson Beach and saw waves of Dipsea runners running alongside us, which was super cool. (The Dipsea was yesterday also).
Then we rode south along the coast and turned in to climb most of the way up Mt. Tam again. Then some descents and costal roolers and we climbed the Marshall Wall (the harder side IMHO) and did an out and back over Wilson Hill (so two times Wilson) and them some moderate climbs (Cheese Factory, Whites Hill) to home.
Great ride - it was COLD all day, though.
