Ride to Stinson Beach from Golden Gate Bridge. Pass through redwoods and over west ridge of Mt Tam. Optional visit to Muir Woods. Route takes you through Old Mill Redwood Park in Mill Valley. Start in Northwest parking lot of Golden Gate Bridge. The Scenic route is shown. Route follows Bike Path 5 under the Golden Gate Bridge and through the park. Slightly faster route (not scenic) into Suasalito is to take Alexandar Road. The elevation profile over estimates total climbing. Actual total is about 2000. Can be very hot in summer.

Scenic climb to Painted Cave State Park (about 3000 feet). Riding San Marcos pass may be a really bad idea unless you're in the Peloton but some locals ride it as an out-and-back to Lake Cachuma. San Marcos Pass has high speed traffic and marginal shoulders. The ride turns quiet when you turn off San Marcos and ride up Camino Cielo to Painted Cave. The descent down Painted Cave is fast and winding. The hard core riders use Painted Cave for both the climb and the descent.

The fast route into Suasalito is shown. The Scenic route is to take Bike Path 5 under the Golden Gate Bridge and through the park.
