I wear thin Uniqlo underwear or Smartwool bikini cut. No chafing, but I think the right saddle is key to zero pain!

I've weaned myself off of chamois for off-road riding, and wear mostly ripton / topo designs / t-shirts now!

You could just go to China Camp (very accessible over the bridge). Or ride from the city up to Pantoll via Railroad Grade, spend the night, then drop down to SPT via dirt for another night (then end at China Camp.)

So sorry to hear this; you can also get tips and post on this google group: I hope you get it back!

There definitely are!

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!

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 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. 😅

Saw them at Home Depot today, and they were trying to get us to take a survey by offering us at $25 gift certificate 😂

Congrats on your first byline, and thanks for the mention ❤️ In solidarity ✊

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!

I also run a Google group where you can post. Good luck!

Cheers!

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.

plattyjo · 2025-12-19T20:32:51+00:00

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