Social Pace 47 miles/ +2,706 ft. Hilly rating (+57.82 ft elevation gain per mile) Route Map  Head out on the same route as the Moderate Pace on Novato Blvd.  At mile 10 We take a right and tackle Wilson Hill, Chileno Valley and Spring Hill Road.  We are far away from bathrooms and water.  The first rest stop will be at mile 33.7 at McNear Park (F Street X 10th Street.).  Then Petaluma Blvd, Redwood Hwy, bike paths and a right on San Marin Dr.

Moderate Pace 56 miles/ +3,753 ft.  Hilly rating (67.01 ft. elevation gain per mile) Route Map Go out on Novato Blvd course.  Left at the T stop to Marshall.  Hwy 1 north to Tomales.  Regroup at mile 28.2 at Tomales Community Center.  Grab a snack at the General Store if there is time.  The return trip will be a bunch of rollers and a kicker on Wilson Hill and back on Novato Blvd.

Top off your stores at Trailhead Cafe.  Enjoy a cold one with your mates and laugh about how the ride is over before you know it.

NOT A NO DROP RIDE.  Not a beginner's ride.

Other Pace riders welcome but should be prepared to provide their own navigation.  
If you ride way slower or faster than the main group you will be separated and will likely be riding on your own.  Try to find a small pod who knows the way and stick together.  Please review the route well in advance of the ride.  Download it to your bike computer or print out a cue sheet.
