Let's push the boundaries as we head south to SF and then ride up San Bruno Mountain. This constantly rolling route will work your climbing endurance. Starting from Mill Valley, come up on Conzelman Rd, then the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, up and over the Forest Hill bump and down on Geneva Ave to Guadalupe Canyon Parkway 101 side to climb 1,200' to San Bruno Mountain summit. Take a breather after the 1st 650' ascent at the Park Entrance, and then continue on the 2nd leg, a 600' climb to the radio tower summit. And that is the major climb of the day. We'll go to a mom and pops Korean grocery store, Bart Grocery & BBQ 108 Los Olivos Ave, Daly City CA 94014 for lunch. We'll take our lunch to a nearby tot lot and enjoy it there. And then it's time to head home with 19 miles to go back across the bridge. The ride is social pace and we'd love for you to ride with us. Alternatively, make it yours and ride faster or slower or modify the route to your liking but please provide your own navigation. Not a beginners ride. Significant amounts of climbing. Very hilly rating. Regroups as necessary. NOT a No Drop Ride.
