That sounds so nice. Once upon a time I lived up near the top in Twin Peaks, SF. And I had a job in Novato. Once or twice (if I was feeling especially sadistic) a week I would bike the commute. In the morning I would pick my way through the climb but at night on the way home I didn't have it in me.

Amazing. I used to commute by bike from SF to San Rafael, so I've done the San Quentin detour hundreds of times, wishing for that tunnel to be open. It's a great day. I hope they open the old railroad tunned between Mill Valley and Corte Madera one day, too. Philip Philip Williamson www.biketin
