Anyone interested in an early trip over Tam tomorrow?

Standard Alpine Dam loop:
over the bridge, flatland into Fairfax, up to the dam, seven sisters,
down Pano.

If there is time and we are feeling strong, we can down to Muir woods
and climb back up Diaz Ridge (skinny tire friendly singletrack climb)

Yes, skinny tire friendly, but make sure you have the right gears! I found that climb quite challenging on my CX bike with 38x27 :-)

(But, alas, can't ride tomorrow...)

I'm shooting for noon. Alpine damn is about 4 to 4.5 from the mission,
then an extra 30min for Diaz ridge.

As for gearing; there is a reason I said 'feeling strong'. It hurts
quite a bit on the 39x26, but it is completely acceptable to gentle
sob yourself to the top.
