Marin Headlands Gravel Cycling Tour From San Francisco

About this activity

Let me introduce you to and guide you along the amazing gravel biking routes right in San Francisco and in the Marin Headlands. The headlands are across the Golden Gate Bridge and are the birthplace of mountain biking. Whether you are an experienced gravel cyclist or don't own a gravel bike, but are gravel curious, you will have a great time as I will craft a route for you based on your skill level and fitness. The private tour will feature amazing vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco skyline. The ride can include challenging climbs, single-track, exhilarating downhills, wildlife sightings, a lunch refueling stop, and celebratory drinks at The Pelican Inn. If you don't own a gravel bike, I will coordinate renting a high-quality gravel bike. Check out our Instagram videos on @GravelGuideSF
