Denise, TBO and I rolled out from Cole Valley to brave the hectic weekend crowds of Marin to ride Jesse’s beautiful route that spans Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, Bolinas-Fairfax Road and Alpine Dam. The stretch of Highway 1 that goes past Slide Ranch is one of my personal favorites and is worth weaving through busy traffic and hordes of tourists. It was Denise’s first time climbing up Bo-Fax — woohoo! While it was pretty hot — 92 degrees! — we took a nice late lunch break in Fairfax (where we got our control receipt, too.) Then it was beer o’clock at Crepes on Cole — where we happened to bump into Jesse and his girlfriend!
