A climber's delight, To The Guardrail and To The Top. Come out to Sonoma county with us and scale the famous Pine Flat Road. The route is designed by an experienced Marin Cyclists member who knows the area well, Jan Lau. Both routes are similar with the difference being how much of Pine Flat Road you want to conquer. We begin at Esposti Park and roll our way to the main event of the day. After the climb by the first 1/3 or 1/2 of the ride it's smooth sailing all the way.
