The first ride in the CAT Series. The route takes out from Sports Basement and up through the Presido coming round to Golden Gate Bridge the easy way. We then head north over the bridge and down through Sausalito where we’ll stop and at Mike’s Bikes. The route continues on a long the Mill Valley Bike path until we jump on Miller Ave just by Mt Tamalpais High School. We then follow Miller into Mill Valley where we’ll stop in the center at the coffee shop.
We return to San Francisco by simply double backing on ourselves. On the way back we tackle the only hill on the ride - Sausalito Hill. Sausalito Hill is not as bad as it looks. Firstly, it’s really a hill in five parts, with the second and third parts offering the greatest challenge. Once past these you’ll be fine. Secondly, it’s worth the practice as we are going to tackle Sausalito Hill every week from here out.
