An easy, relaxing local adventure. Meet at Velo Rouge in the morning. Bike to Larkspur, partly along dedicated paved bike trails (about 17 miles). Rent kayaks from Outback Adventure ($30 for 2 hours, I called ahead since we were a group). Paddle along Corte Madera Creek and side creeks under Mt Tam (a few hours before low tide so we were paddling against the current on the way in but the ebb was carrying us back out).

Warning: post about death. With Amelia Le Moullac’s recent death after being hit by a truck fresh on my mind, it gave me another shudder to bike past the intersection where Diana Sullivan was hit and killed by a truck earlier this year. This ghost bike is locked to a lamp post there. There’s an account of how Diana died here– warning– it is graphic and disturbing.
