Overview
Let me introduce you to the amazing gravel biking routes right in San Francisco and in the Marin Headlands. The headlands are across the Golden Gate Bridge and are the birthplace of mountain biking. Whether you are an experienced gravel cyclist or don't own a gravel bike, but are gravel curious, you will have a great time as I will craft a route for you based on your skill level and fitness.
The ride will feature amazing vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco skyline. The ride can include challenging climbs, single-track, exhilarating downhills, wildlife sightings, a lunch refueling stop, and celebratory drinks at The Pelican Inn.
If you don't own a gravel bike, I will coordinate renting a high-quality gravel bike. Private tours are available for when you pay for a group of at least 2 people (i.e. you pay for at least 2 people, but you could be one person). Please let us know if you want your tour to be private after booking.
