Routes, made better by conversation
To us, finding GPS files online is only a small part of route planning. The most adventurous routes require more local understanding and knowledge before tackling. We showcase roots merely as a jumping-off point for discussion. We encourage you to take these routes and others you discover directly into the region discussion on The Ridership to get updates from local riders about current conditions, suggested modifications, and perhaps even to connect for a ride.
Ride on.
Hidden Gem.
Finding the Cross Marin trail was a game-changer when starting from Mill Valley. This pleasant traverse after a steep approach opens up the backside of Mt. Tam via Eldridge Grade.

A great way to get your feet wet with your gravel bike. Experienced or not, these trails have amazing views and offer the ability to really open up the bike on the descents.
