Pre-registration
This 45-mile route from June, 2024 combines two popular loops close to home. Begin at McNear’s Beach in San Rafael where there are bathrooms and free parking. From here, we will begin a counterclockwise loop around China Camp State Park, cut through the city of San Rafael, and make our way towards Paradise Drive. Lunch will be at mile 27 in Tiburon’s shoreline-with-a-view next to the Angel Island Ferry Terminal and CafĂ© Acri. After lunch, we will complete the Paradise loop and head back to McNear’s Beach via Point San Pedro road.

Two Mill Valley restroom options that are both ~200 feet off the route map: mile 18.6, at the small roundabout on Mill Valley-Sausalito path, take the first exit (our ride takes the third), then an immediate left into the parking lot of the Marin Sewage Dept building (restrooms tucked back in the left side of the building). Or, at mile 18.8, after crossing the wooden bridge, at the end of the path where it meets the Mill Valley Public Safety buildings, just to the left you'll see the parking lot and bathrooms we use to start some of our Wed Tam rides. The ride route turns right on Hamilton Dr though, away from the bathrooms.
