On April 11, 2011 the next phase of construction of the Marin Headlands was begun. This construction includes resurfacing of Lower Conzelman Road from the parking lot at the Golden Gate Bridge to the round about at McCullough Road. Upper Conzelman Road from Hawk Hill to Bunker Road is also closed. The specific information is outlined below.

If all goes well, the section of Lower Conzelman Road from the Northwest Parking Lot to the first lookout point, Battery Spencer, will reopen at the beginning of August.

The main section of the Marin Headlands Trail will be closed through October 2011. Until then, your best opportunity experience the Marin Headlands is to either go through the Bunker Tunnel, climb McCullough Road and then climb up Conzelman Road from the round about to Hawk Hill and turn around, or check out our Marin Headlands video below.

For more information, check out the National Park Service page or Project Headlands page for updates.

Bike4Breath 2011 was a wonderful ride and a great time. The route (below) took us from Foster City to the Crystal Springs Reservoir, Arastradero Preserve, by the Stanford Campus and back to Foster City. This is our favorite charity tour each year. We hope you will join us next year!

As Bike4Breath approaches we here at Team WeLikeToBike are getting ready for our 100k ride.  Part of getting ready for the ride is knowing the route and the total ascent we will encounter.

Distance from Life Technologies: 60.3 miles

Total Ascent: 1,532 feet (467 meters)

Difficulty: A few tough climbs with a lot of rolling hills and flats.

The route through the Peninsula will take us by the Bay on a bike path, over US-101, through neighborhoods, past Crystal Springs Reservoir and through parts of the Stanford University campus.

Team WeLikeToBike is getting ready for this ride in our local area over the next couple of weeks by training after work with 50k rides and full 100k rides over the weekend.

You can use a program like Map My Ride or Bike Route Toaster to plan and view your training route, the climbs and get a printout of the directions for your ride. We use a Garmin Edge 800 to keep us on track and record the route as we ride.

We’ll make sure to post a re-cap after the event.
