So across the GGB:

- up to the Hawk Hill roundabout
- down Coastal Trail
- up Miwok, down Old Springs to the stables
- Tennessee Valley to Coastal (?)
- right onto Coastal up its ridge
- connect to Coyote Ridge
- left on Miwok (?)
- descend Miwok to Panoramic
- Panoramic to Pantoll ?


Help me out, please?

Pantoll to E. Ridgecrest

down Elridge..... gets a little tough for me after that.

do you want a similar but better route?

that's a pretty solid ride. I'd like to hear the better route suggestion or even better if you have something I can put in my computer to follow along.

This looks fun. I'm not familiar with the off road stuff - is it doable with 650x38 slicks?

Elridge can be kind of gnarly at times, with pretty big rock gardens. Don’t think I’d recommend the top portion on slicks. You could walk the portion though.

Looks like a really good ride. Haven’t been to some of those parts yet (or maybe I’m just confused), but I’ve been making my way. That 3D map really helps envision it. Thx!

That’s why my route avoids Eldridge (at least the top wear it’s a little gnarly

Thanks for this suggestion Houston!

Went on a dirt ride this past weekend, but my legs were starting to cramp while riding up Coyote Ridge, so after descending Highway 1, I just rode Muir Woods back up to Four Corners instead of attempting to climb Coastal to Deer Park Trail. Need to get back in better shape to do the full 50 miles you prescribed!

Coyote Ridge is super tough. Another suggestion would be just take railroad grade .
