Indian Fire Road Loop From Larkspur

Seventy degrees and great riding today out of Larkspur. I started from Emporio Rulli in Larkspur fueled by a delicious latte and an apricot doughnut - it's a carb, isn't it? I headed out Magnolia Avenue towards Ross Common and headed up Lagunitas Road to Natalie Coffin Greene park. After looping around Lake Phoenix, I headed up Eldridge Grade up to the 1450' elevation and branched off of Eldridge onto Indian Fire Road. From there I banked a right down Blithedale Ridge, one of my favorite trails, and then worked my way back towards Larkspur on Southern Marin Line Road. This ride ends about 800' above Larkspur, so you have to wind down some very steep narrow paved roads, but it's still a chance to take in some great views -- all roads lead back down to Magnolia where you can head straight back to Rulli.
