(Above) Just one of the many "little" gun mounts on the coast. for riders to pair up with new friends and continue cruising the rest of the day. . The controversy regarding the ride centers around the speeds traveled during the early morning hours. Errors by unskilled riders have caused accidents and have attracted the attention of the safety-minded people at the California Highway Patrol. The CHP makes regular Sunday morning visits to the coast and you'should be careful to ride safely within your skill level and follow the law. This is a wonderful ride and you'll be welcomed by the crowd, but the worst thing that could happen would be to ride unsafely; this not only endangers you, but your fellow riders and all the other ·motorists on the road. The Panoramic Highway If you'd like to keep your mileage down or you'd like variety in repeating the run, try taking the Panoramic Highway turnoff. The turnoff is nestled in the Mill Valley Woods before you reach the .coast and signs call out Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods National Monument. Both "Mt. Tam" and Muir Woods are well worth a visit. Mt. Tam offers a breathtaking 360 degree view of northern California and Muir Woods is possibly the most beautiful fern. carpeted stand of gigantic redwoods in the state. There are plenty of signs in this area to guide you to either park and there are public restrooms at both. From the Panoramic Highway, you can cross over to the Mountain Theater on Ridgecrest Boulevard and travel either to the right to Mt. Tam or to the left to grab some more beautiful scenery and views. Both the Panoramic Highway and Ridgecrest Boulevard will return you to Highway One. The Panoramic Highway meets One at Stinson Beach. Ridgecrest meets One five miles north of Stinson. . ...•.. , . Stinson Beach is a popular public beach and is the first chance for gas and food after leaving Mill Valley. The pack from the Sunday Morning Ride always stops here to regroup before continuing on to breakfast in Point Reyes Station, 16 miles further, 46 miles from the start of our trip. From the resturaunt. the Sunday Morning Riders will continue north along Highway One and Tomales Bay, past the harbors that are home for the numerous commercial fishing boats that run out to the ocean for their daily catch. When they reach the gas station at Tomales/Petaluma Road, the group disbands and it is decision time. 'HI-POINT FORK OIL ... Our new Premium Fork Ollis designed to meet MX racing demands.

The quickest route back to the gate is to take Tomales/ Petaluma Road (the name changes going inland) to the city Petaluma and Freeway 101. The trip is about 20 miles and winds through warm valleys that are lined with farms and pastures. From Petaluma, it is about 45 miles and as many minutes back to the Golden Gate. Our favorite excursion from this point is to take Highway One up to Highway 116 and go inland to ]'S Amusement Park in Guernville. It's 25 miles further from Tomales' to 116, and 45 miles OJ} Highways 1I6.and 101 back to Petaluma, but we sure get a kick out of renting the go carts and getting a little speeding and competition out of our system. Besides our detour to the go carts, the trip over Highway 116 takes us along the beautiful Russian River and through some of the famous Sonoma County Wine Country. On this happy note we'll leave you to come up with your own diversions, as a tour of the land of the grape is a separate tour in itself. • LONG BEACH YAMAHA· KAWASAKI 20% L I • 'uNT e Motorcycle eATe e Odyssey We Ship Anywhere ~ Dealer Inquiries Invited I~J • Fullerton Sand Tires 11900 Beach Blvd. Stanton.
