2024 Spring Dino
SAUSAGE RIDE
Saturday April 20th 2024
Leave at 8:30 in SF at the Golden Gate Bridge, or meet up from 9:00-9:15 in Mill Valley. Ride will leave Mill Valley at 9:30 sharpish. Rain or shine (But if it rains, you may be in a pretty small group). If gravel is not your bag, some riders will be going up and over on the paved roads.
Start at the Bridge or in Mill Valley: South tower Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza if you plan to ride over from SF. North/East Bay folks can park and start in downtown Mill Valley. Hang out at the plaza behind the Depot Bookstore & Cafe (87 Throckmorton Ave) and wait for the SF gang to roll through.
Out Blithedale, up the Railroad Grade to the Ridge. Stop at the West Point Inn on the way up for nature break and breathtaking views. West on the Ridge and down past Alpine Dam to Fairfax for mandatory stop at Gestalt Haus for sausages and beer. Weave back to your starting point, or call Uber.
Feel free to drive straight to Gestalt Haus (28 Bolinas Road, Fairfax) to meet us if your bike is broken. Save us some seats. Another option if gravel is not your bag: Some riders will be going up and over on the paved roads. We dont judge however you get there. Just join us for sausages + beer in Fairfax. We usually roll in around 12:30.
The Railroad Grade is not paved, but is a gentle grade and perfectly doable on road bikes. High tire pressure (or tubulars) recommended to avoid pinch flats.

And did we mention beer?
