Basically, just head out of Fairfax on BoFax (Bolinas-Fairfax Road, for alla youse non-locals) and you will crest out above the golf course at the entrance to the Pine Mountain loop (fire road). So, it's not technically Pine Mountain per se, but you skirt the entrance to that ride. West Ridgecrest dead-ends into BoFax (and if you get a mixed-terrain hankering, you can pick up Bolinas Ridge Fire Trail and head north on that). If you wanted to add the Pine Mountain off-pavement loop to that, there are a few ways to do it, most of which would require some noticeable climbing and mixed-terrain linkups. I'd pack extra food. And water. But, I was really just talking about the paved route I'd posted.

Re: [RBW] Re: Visit and ride at RBW
If you mean BoFax to Westridge to the East Peak? I think the pitch up from Alpine dam is a little tougher - probably more mentally because there's not a lot to gauge your progress from. Going up Diablo, you see the height as you gain it, which always helpful. Of course, Diablo is taller, but given the up/down/up on the Fairfax route, I'd bet the climbing is similar in overall elevation. Those are both two of the really fine, interesting and beautiful climbs in the greater SF Bay. - J on 8/4/11 6:26 PM, Ray Shine at r.sh...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Jim -- How's it compare to climbing Tam from fairfax?

Re: [RBW] Re: Visit and ride at RBW
True. Unlike the Alpine dam climb, there aren't many 200' Redwoods left on the slopes of Diablo to obscure the horizon. But then, there are fewer fog-drenching wind-blown afternoons experienced climbing the latter.

Re: [RBW] Re: Visit and ride at RBW
Joe, your map states average grade is 6.1% and maximum grade is 17.6%. I'm just not going to think about it... only that the return trip will be awesome! I'm going to be taking my time, but even if I have to push the bike all the way, I'm planning to get there. Question: - Do we need to make reservations? If so, I volunteer to make the reservation; one campsite takes a maximum of 8 people according to the Reserve America site, costs $30 and there are 29 left for September 24. I may do a trial run if I get a chance to assess how I would fare and whether my 12 year old son would enjoy coming along or if the relentless climbing would completely turn him off.

Northgate Rd averages 6.9 percent with a peak, riding up to the 1,000- ft mark, of 12+ percent. A 2000 fit climb in 6.5 miles. Summit Rd. from the junction Ranger Station to the top, is a 7.5 percent average, and a 1470-ft or so climb in 4.5 miles, with a short 10 percent section around Blue Oak campground, and then the dastardly 19 percent last tenth-of-a-mile or so.

I'd love to join the group in September for a guided S240 so I can learn from the experts! Unfortunately, with my travel schedule, I'm only available on the weekends of September 3-4 and most likely, 24-25. If I'm lucky one of those weekends will be chosen for the ride!

It was great to see you guys, and sorry I missed Joe. Rode Old Caz 300k (15% dirt, 15k feet of climbing) yesterday and ran into Jim at around mile 153 at the Point Reyes Station control. Small world. Needless to say, I'm taking a break from riding for a few days! Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Jul 31, 12:47 pm, EastBayGuy goodwin...@gmail.com wrote: I am in for an S240 in September.

[RBW] Re: Visit and ride at RBW
Dustin, I'm tellin' you---if you it on the S1 as you told me you might, you'll be walking 80 percent of it. If you DO it, get pictures, and if you go where you say you want to go, don't plan on sleeping. Good luck, though!

[RBW] Re: Visit and ride at RBW
Been meaning to post, but have been caught up in a friend's wedding proceedings. I had a fabulous ride thanks to Jim and Joe, and a great time at WHQ as well. Loved the Hunq. Feels like my Sam with even fatter tires. Wore my RBW visor for the first time (Grant was wearing his to work as well) and really appreciated the cooling breeze in my hair on the Diablo climbs. The visor is an awesome design, and decidedly not selling like hotcakes according to Grant. So throw one in your shopping cart next time, they are only $13, and like many other Riv products, a bit unconventional, but once you use them, you wonder how you got along without one. Saw the new green Sams and a new green Hunq, and while I think the Sam's orange is about the prettiest bike color ever, the new green may be the second prettiest. The photos on the riv site don't do it justice. It's less Kelly and more creamy than it appears on my (calibrated) monitor at least.

My hair's too thin to wear a visor. I get a sunburn on the top of my head w/out a cap on.
