Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun Apr 9, Sequoia Bayview and Marin option

Greetings,
I thought if I called it Sequoia Bayview, no one would realize it's the same darn run we did 2 weeks ago. Well, at least it's not asphalt and will probably be passable if the weather forecasts hold. Here are the driving directions. Don't try driving there with your eyes closed, even though most of us could! Directions below.

Heres a Marin option if you want a change of mud (actually tends to be more rocky there):

If people would like something different on Sunday, they could come over to Marin and do a few hours on Mt. Tam. I'll be meeting some folks at Lake Lagunitas at 9:00 a.m. for a loop that offers options ranging from 1:45 to about 4:30, plus some huge hills, waterfalls and wildflowers. My days with the EB Striders are long past, as I'm a lot older and slower than ten years ago, but I can give some pretty good directions. If anyone is interested, they can call me at 415-302-2906.

Heading north on 13, turn left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp onto Mountain Blvd. Turn right at the third light onto Snake Rd. Heading south on 13, take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp onto Park Ave., a left at the light onto Mountain Blvd., and a right onto Snake Rd. Proceed on Snake Rd. and go straight onto Shepherd Canyon Rd. where Snake takes a sharp left. Proceed up Shepherd Canyon (watch for the sharp hairpin right) until you reach a five way intersection at which you have a stop sign. Turn right onto Skyline Blvd. and look for the Skyline Gate parking lot 0.5 miles on your left.Have a good weekend,Mike
