Back in June I spent a night on #Bolinas Ridge, near the northern of two picnic benches. As I continued south I noticed a second picnic bench. I decided to stay there, another time.

With March #BAM coming up, that was my goal. I'd recently gotten a new handlebar bag from Bags By Bird. I wanted to try it out, which meant bringing my Hudski Dualist, my "#ATB." A lap of the San Francisco Bay on mountain bike tires is not the most efficient way to do it - my gravel bike would have been more efficient - but for the Mt. #Tamalpais and Bolinas Ridge sections, it would be excellent. And it was.

During last weekend's #BivvyAMonth #bikepacking trip to #HenryCoe State Park and Orestimba Wilderness, we all rode to the ride from our front doors, using #BART trains to get to the last station on the San Jose line, then pedaled a big first day of 60 miles and 5000', first on flat pavement, then climbing and descending rugged dirt, before camping above Pacheco Falls at the end of day one. On day two we rode further east into very seldom seen terrain, passing through history, before returning to pavement in the middle of a #randonneur event, then making the long journey back to a different BART line east of where we'd started, and then taking trains home. Day two was 69 miles and 5000', all on #mtb. You can read my trip report here:

@morgan Sounds like a fun big ride, Morgan! The Napa guys have been making noise about doing a Pigeon ride (non-ambitious overnight) soon. Maybe helpful for your #bivvyamonth quest
