Marin County
Road & Gravel
- RIDGECREST LOOP – One of the nicest road loops in the world! 33.17 miles | 3,721 ft elevation gain | Lakes, mountains, ocean vistas, San Francisco skyline and the Bay, and Golden Gate Bridge views. We strongly recommend riding this in a counter-clockwise direction to avoid the climbs up from Mill Valley on Hwy 1 that has little-to-no safe shoulder.
- Our friends at Studio Velo in Mill Valley, CA are showcasing the incredible, world-class road riding in Marin County in this nice collection of rides on their website: MARIN’S CLASSIC LOOPS Check them out!
- Visiting San Francisco? Renting a bike? Take the ferry to Larkspur and ride on over to Marin Museum of Bicycling. It’s an easy, flat 40 minute ride from the Ferry Terminal.
