Meet at 10:00 am for a 10:15 am start
Pre-registration
Join me on one of my favorite rides, from the Bear Valley Visitor Center in Pt Reyes out to Drakes Beach. Winter is actually a great time to do this ride, since the fog will be out and the temperature is predicted to be surprisingly mild. Two tough hills during the ride - the climb out of Inverness to get into the park, and then the steep climb back up from the beach after lunch, as well as some stair-step rollers throughout the park. Lunch will be at Drakes Beach, where the visitor center has bathrooms, water, and coffee, tea and snacks (bring a credit card, they don't take cash). It's best to bring lunch, but those inclined can stop to pick up a sandwich at the gourmet deli in Inverness Park, or at the decidedly non-gourmet little place in Inverness. Leader rides a TM pace, but since this is an out-and-back, all paces are welcome for those comfortable navigating the route. Anyone wanting extra miles is free to get in an additional 17 miles by starting at 9:15 from Nicasio and meeting us in Bear Valley. Meet Bear Valley Visitors Center at 10:00, ride out 10:15. Rain, which is not in the forecast, would cancel -- check the website for updates if in doubt.
