Favorite Marin Cycling Routes

Marin is a cyclist’s paradise, with iconic climbs, coastal descents, and redwood-shaded roads that draw riders from around the world. MCBC has curated a collection of Marin’s signature loops—ranging from classic road rides to rugged gravel adventures—so you can experience the best our county has to offer on two wheels.

Each loop celebrates the landscapes and communities that make Marin special, from the summit of Mt. Tamalpais to the shores of Stinson Beach, Point Reyes, and beyond. To honor these rides, a series of custom patch logos, designed by local artist Joe Kayser, captures the spirit of each route.

Starting and finishing in downtown Mill Valley, Favorite Marin Cycling Routes offer challenges and stunning vistas across mountaintops to the Pacific, the Bay, and San Francisco. Come see why we are so passionate about riding in our backyard!

Thank you to Studio Velo, a former Marin bike shop, for originally curating these classic routes.
