Ridgecrest/Stinson via Pantoll

Up to the famed Ridgecrest on Mt. Tamalpais made famous through numerous car commercials. This ride offers beautiful vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Bolinas, Pt Reyes National Seashore and the San Andreas fault, before the exhilarating descent of Bolinas-Fairfax road to Hwy 1, then south to Stinson Beach and a roller coaster ride back along California Highway 1 to Sausalito, passing by Muir Woods along the way. For the hearty, this ride can be easily extended by adding in a lap of Bolinas (where the Wild Things are), or by climbing up to Mt. Tam’s East Peak.

This is a road ride and not recommended for e-bikes or inexperienced riders.
