I'll be riding and exploring Marin for several days, maybe a whole week,
starting tomorrow.

I was thinking road up, dirt down, but I'm open. Also,there will
probably be enough locals to take at least a couple of different
routes.

You're too far north for "fun in the sun". You need to be in Orange
or San Diego county :). Here in CA you can always tell where people
live based on whether or not their bikes have fenders (Esteban is the
outlier here; he just likes fenders).

Well, I'd suggest Iron Horse to Canal Trail, and then cut through
Heather Farms Park and the Rancho San Miguel neighborhood to North
Gate Rd. Not only does it avoid traffic, it also gives you a glimpse
at one of the first modernist, Usonian-inspired sub-divisions.

Sounds great. Would that MUP be the Contra Costa Canal Trail to Lime
Ridge open space? Or the Iron Horse down past RBW and cut over to
Shell Ridge? Or ...?

Sounds great! We should plan a Marin ride also; maybe a Mt Tam climb?
Weather update: 52 degrees this morning, many clouds and heavy rain
forecast. Unsettled weather next week but looks like it may dry up for
New Year's.

Let's split the difference and say 9:30. That way we can warm up and
considering its following New Year's Eve, maybe some whisky would be in
order in the am. Anyway - Pleasant Hill BART station?

It was sunny (but not warm) out at ocean beach this morning. Maybe a
coastal ride in Marin one day? Are there good trails there? I'm in for Jan.

It was 30 degrees at 8 this morning in Walnut Creek, and 15 higher up
on Mt Diablo. I suggest starting at 10 am to give folks some time to
gather and for it to warm up a bit, but maybe 9 am would work
How early is too early? 8am? Where to start?
I'm putting this on the calendar. Good way to start 2013.

Hey there Mr Thill!
Glad to hear you'll be landing in the Bay Area! I'm north-bay-centric, so
when you head into Marin County, lemme know! We're dealing with a dying
family member right now, so I can't commit too far out, but should be in
the area with some flexibility in schedule.

I would love to tag along on a ride or two, just about anywhere in the bay
area. I'm out near Ocean Beach in SF but work near downtown SF with easy
access to Bart. Might motivate me to finish reconfiguring my Atlantis for
trails.

I would have brought the Pug, but I figured that would be a theft target
and not well suited to public transit. I brought my disc trucker with
Rohloff, which looks unremarkable/ugly and has a more or less mud-proof
drivetrain and braking system..
On Wednesday, December 19, 2012 4:08:11 PM UTC-6
Jim,
Based on the fact that you said you're bringing your best mud bike, I can
only conclude that you've elected to bring the Pugsley on the trip to the
Bay Area? If so, that's an interesting choice to be certain. Or do you
consider one of your other bikes to be better in the mud than the Pug?
Sh
I would be up for a Diablo ride on New Year's Day. Or any Mt. Tam
adventures.
Hmmm. Need to test the ankle and make sure it is ready. Maybe it won't rain
this weekend.

Let's plan it: Mt Diablo ride on NYD. Maybe Grant and some of the other Riv
folk will join. One of you locals should fill in the details of where and when.
This is gonna be great.

If you all plan a ride earlyish in the day on the 28th I'm game.
Hope to meet some of you then.

Sounds like a good trip in the making. Northern Cali had been wetter than
normal a while there but things seem to be drying out. Their deep winter
temps are us Midwesterners mild riding weather.
