Before California closes down almost all state parks as currently proposed, we grabbed our bikes one gorgous day last weekend and took the ferry from Tiburon over to Angel Island. I wasn't sure we'd make the full hilly 5 miles, and the thought crossed my mind what we'd do come 5:20 when the last ferry leaves. But despite a few whiny bouts and a couple of skinned up knees, grit and determination won the day. We celebrated our survival by devouring an early dinner at the Marin Brewing Company in Larkspur.
