Description
This great road ride starts in the north part of San Rafael, goes through Novato, out to Nicasio and back. None of the hills are terribly difficult and there is even a short section, about 1 mile, through the Redwoods. In the summer, this can be quite a hot ride, so bring plenty of water.
