Great Mountain Bike Loop From Fairfax

Not sure if the best part of the ride was the great views of Lake Lagunitas or the amazing Stout at Iron Springs Pub and Brewery in Fairfax, which is were I began and ended my ride. I headed up Bolinas to Porteous and started at Deer Park. Deer Park trail runs up to Five Corners, and I took Shaver Grade up to Skye Oaks Road. From there I headed up across the Lagunitas dam and around Lake Lagunitas. From there I climbed a bit more up until I hit Eldridge Grade and headed back down to Shaver Grade and up to Five Corners and back down to Deer Park (nice run-on sentence). Overall, the ride was about 11.8 miles and 1400' of elevation gain. For complete ride information, check out MarinFatTire.com. Besides the Stout, the Fish Tacos and Chile Relleno were pretty good, too.
