Notes
We will try for either the 12:00 pm ferry or the 12:45 pm ferry. With careful placement we have had up to 21 bikes on board. If we can't get everyone on board, we will need to split into two groups and then meet up again in S.F.  The full route is 74 miles.  At the end when we get back to Larkspur you can take the city route back to Frank's house to trim 2 miles or take the bay trail route for the full 74 miles.
