May's Second Sunday Breakfast will meet in Novato and ride to Point Reyes. We'll meet for breakfast at Marvin’s in Novato on Sunday, May 10, 2009, 8:00 AM  (this place has great food and is popular so we need to get there early to get a group table)

Locaton: 

Marvin's 1112 Grant Ave, Novato CA, 94945

After breakfast we’ll do a scenic loop over to the Point Reyes National Seashore and stop at the Bear Valley Visitors Center for a bio-break (restrooms available). 

Depending on time, weather and group preference we’ll ride out to the light house, or maybe just to Limantour Beach (yes, we can ride –the shuttle season is over).  Then back over to Greenbrae where the ride will end at the Chevron station at 301 Sir Francis Drake Blvd.  We’ll gas up, say our farewells and head home from there.

Total distance is between ~40 and ~80 miles depending on what we decide.  Please have a full tank for when we depart Marvin’s, or at least enough to go 80-90 miles,  since there won’t be a gas stop until we get to Greenbrae.
