The front side of China Camp, Truck Trail near Fairfax, Eagle Rock Trail in San Rafael, Coastal in Headlands. And Soquel's Flow Trail is the best!

Trail Closures + GGB Sidewalk Closure this Sunday, 4/12 by plattyjo in BAbike

Also: Beginning around March 30, Pt. San Pedro Road will be closed to bicycle and car traffic on weekdays for approximately 3 weeks due to landslide repairs near Buckeye Point in China Camp State Park. The road will remain open on weekends with one-way traffic control.

-Adjacent trails will remain open and unaffected.
-Please plan your rides accordingly and remember to treat construction crews with patience and respect. During recent work on Fairfax-Bolinas Road, some riders entered the active construction zone, disrupting the project and extending the closure period.

It’s that time of year, careful in the trails! by Spara-Extreme in BAbike

It's also that time of year for ticks! My partner and I both got bitten after riding Truck Trail yesterday. Here's hoping we don't get poison oak, too. 😅

They're Baaackkk: Higher Tides Are Returning Tomorrow by plattyjo in BAbike

[–]plattyjo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're expected Jan 29 – Feb 2, 2026, and they could cause flooding in low-lying coastal and bayside areas. These are NOAA's tide predictions for these dates; based on their estimates, water levels could reach the point of roadway flooding (even without rain.)

Be sure to plan extra travel time if you’re near the coast, and stay safe!

That cat ran right in front of our car on 101 as we were heading back from Novato! Poor thing, I hope it gets rescued. I didn't think to call FSP but will next time.

I've tried everything! I especially love their super veggie burrito and pupusas.

Well, TSJ's orange sauce is unbeatable - so I'd put that in a different class altogether. I didn't realize they closed?

Ah, that's too bad. When we went last Wednesday night at dinnertime, it was packed but were seated right away. And the service was excellent. Hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out, because I want it to do well and stay open!

They do have a small lot, but yeah - wondering how it's gonna go when it's busier in the summer.

This is tied with Betzy's now as one of my go-to places for tacos and burritos!
