It was really nice to ride up the mountain today. The skies were clear and the sun was warming me up as I pedaled upward. The organic smells that were permeating from the leaves and such were semi-intoxicating. There’s such a clean and fresh feeling on the mountain just after there’s been a good rain storm. All of the creeks were running, and the waterfalls were finally flowing at full strength.
I hadn’t ridden up this fire road in a while so it was nice to see that not too much had changed, but that said, I did notice some changes. I know this route so well that I can pick up on even the smallest of changes.
I was just glad to be back up on the mountain on a beautiful day.

| Double Bow Knot |
I pedaled up to Double Bow Knot and then back down Gravity Car. I stopped at the Muir Woods overlook for a peak. I thought about how few times that there’ve been clear skies over this amazingly beautiful national park. There’s always something, whether it’s fog, haze, or perhaps a storm. I always think that I’ll catch a great view from the overlook, but it’s very seldom that it ever happens.
From there I rode back down to Mill Valley via Pipeline and the Pixie Trail. All in all it was a nice ride. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll pedal over to Tiburon on one of my old faves. ;-)
