Ride Report
Marin Madness Spring Ride 4/10/05


The weather could not have been more perfect. Sunny skys and warm temps made for excellent riding conditions. The hills were green and the wildflowers blooming. We were a group of 6 , riding all metric bikes. (3 Suzuki Volusias - 2 Honda Silver Wings - 1 Yamaha) After meeting up on Treasure Island, we followed the game plan through the City, over the GG Bridge, and stopped at  the Vista Point Lookout. From here we drove to the top of Mt. Tam, down to Alpine Dam, through Fairfax, and stopped for lunch in Woodacre.  We then continued on through Olema and pit-stopped in Bolinas. From here we circled the lagoon, past through Stinson Beach, drove along the coast, over the hill, and gassed up in Mill Valley. We said good byes in front of the old Fireside Motel. A good time was had by all.

Nimbus Hack Ride

We ran across this interesting Nimbus Sidecar rig in Bolinas. In-line 4 engine, shaft drive, and rubber band seat suspention are quite unusual.
