Welcome to: ROAD TO THE LIGHTHOUSE 2024
As GGTC kicks off another year filled with races & long rides & new challenges, the A-Team is excited to announce a new series of advanced rides! Culminating at the end of February with a century ride to the historic Pt. Reyes Lighthouse, this informal series is meant to steadily build our base fitness ahead of the 2024 training season. Hope to see you out there!
UPDATE: DUE TO KING TIDES, THE PLANNED ROUTE IS IMPASSABLE AND THIS RIDE WILL NOT PROCEED. PLEASE CHECK SLACK FOR BACKUP OPTIONS!
WEEK 6: WHAM BAM TAM DAM
Two weeks out from the big ride, time to really test those legs! Join Ambassador Nick on a beautiful ride that combines a serious climb with rolling terrain. Starting at the GGB Welcome Center, we will head across the bridge and down into Mill Valley before beginning the climb up to Four Corners and continuing along Panoramic Highway to Pantoll Station. After turning right and reaching the summit of Mt. Tam, we'll head back down the other side through Seven Sisters and Alpine Dam. A quick refuel in Fairfax, and then everyone will have the option of cruising on home or adding on a *bonus* Paradise Loop!
While the pace will be moderate, this is a semi-drop ride (waiting only a few minutes for occasional regroups). Make sure that you know the route before joining this ride.
