Leader: Mark Abrahams     (510) 524-1294
Meet at 8:00 am
Start Location: Pleasanton - Neal & Railroad Ave

Meet 08:00 ready to ride.  Ready to ride means your bike is set up, you already went to the restroom, you're clicked in, and you're ready to pay attention and listen to ride announcements :-) The route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30136416 and it is fabulous but very challenging. Refreshment stops at: 1. Junction Cafe.  2. Mt Hamilton Visitor Center.  3. San Jose.  But, bring food or other fuel.  Junction Cafe is fun but slow.  Mt Hamilton summit visitor center has only vending machines. This should not be your first self-supported century.

Start Location: Nicasio

Leave from the baseball field at Nicasio Valley Rd & Old Rancheria (https://goo.gl/maps/SKP6smxQk63vEKq26)

RSVP is requested.

 Unsure about parking there (appears to be a 2 hour limit there) but I see often cars parked along Nicasio Valley Rd just a bit to the North. 

Here's the route: https://goo.gl/maps/SKP6smxQk63vEKq26

We will head towards the Cheese Factory for a very brief water stop then on to the east side of Marshal Wall. Dropping down to HW1 we will make our way south to Pt Reyes Station for our first refreshments (and I hope not my last stop at the Bovine Bakery). 

After that we continue south for 15 or so mile to Stinson Beach then up Panoramic and Pan Toll and then all the way up Mt Tam. Return via 7 sisters and Alpine Dam road. We can stop for water again in Fairfax before heading north. There will be an official regroup & refreshments in Wood Acre about 5 miles from the finish.

I want to be in Mill Valley mid afternoon to check out a couple bike shops (shoes to be specific) so I'll be trying to keep a decent/steady but not breakneck pace going. An 815 start should leave plenty of time for that! This also means there will not be a "true" lunch stop but the two refreshment stops should be sufficient.
