Mount Tamalpais State Park For Mountain Biking

The 111th most popular mountain bike trail in California.

The most fire roads, including the Eldridge Grade from the summit, are open to mountain biking. Make sure not to ride any trail marked as closed to mountain bikes. Also, watch your speed and limit it to the maximum posted speed (radar enforced -- no kidding!).
