Please humor us: with the Tour de France now taking place and the local cycling events coming up, we couldn’t pass up this second post on cycling. As we mentioned, cycling is a large part of the culture in Marin County and the North Bay. West Marin, in particular, offers cyclists unlimited trails and routes to enjoy. Whether a leisurely ride or something more ambitious, there’s a trail for everyone. One of our favorite routes is to take off from Fairfax and head to Pt. Reyes via Nicasio. You’ll get to take in rolling hills, fresh air and a variety of wildlife along the way. And if you need more of an incentive, go early and hit Bovine Bakery in time for their freshly baked morning buns, a deliciously decadent sticky bun. Their chocolate croissants are also to die for. A favorite hangout amongst cyclists, you’ll have to arrive early to enjoy your treat. And if you’d like a longer ride back to work off your sweets, from Pt. Reyes Station head out along Tomales Bay towards Marshall Wall before circling back home.

What’s your favorite spot for a mid- or post-ride treat? And do you have a favorite route or trail?
