Thes are just a few photos of the view from the route some will be riding in the July 23-25 Rough Riders Rally, specifically on Sunday, July 25. This is the classic ride up Railroad Grade from Mill Valley to the top of Mt. Tam, also known as East Peak. The return is mainly via paved road, after returning to the West Point Inn on Railroad Grade. This return utilizes a few miles of dirt from the Rally's Saturday ride, and some paved miles on the way back into Mill Valley from the Rally's Friday ride, however this takes a "locals only" route back to The Depot at the end of the ride. The final "occasion" of the Rough Riders Rally will be social time at The Depot in downtown Mill Valley. Total distance is 20 miles with 2800 feet of elevation gain.
Full routing details, including an interactive map, elevation profiles, and much more, are available on our Garmin Connect page here.
