Fairfax, Alpine Dam and Bolinas Ridge: A Wild Ride Through Marin’s Backroads

Join me on a stunning gravel loop starting from Fairfax, California, as I take on the legendary Bolinas Ridge Trail for the first time. This ride has it all — smooth road climbs, peaceful redwood forests, ridge-line views, and a classic Marin County vibe. I start with a steady, well-paced climb up to Alpine Dam, a perfect warm-up surrounded by trees and filtered light. From there, things kick up a notch — the final push to the southern trailhead of Bolinas Ridge is steep but rewarding. Once on the ridge, the magic begins. The southern section of the Bolinas Ridge Trail winds through a quiet redwood forest — like riding through a living tunnel of green, immersed in nature’s calm. As we head north, the trees open up and reveal expansive views stretching out to Point Reyes and the Pacific beyond. A quick lunch stop in Lagunitas refuels the legs before diving back into the gravel and wrapping up this unforgettable ride back in Fairfax. This loop is a Marin County gem — equal parts challenge, beauty, and peace. #bayarea #bikeride #gravelbike #bicycle
