Tamalpais State Park are the birthplace of modern mountain biking? For the curious, visit the Marin Museum of Bicycling & Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Fairfax before you hit the trails. Or try the Stafford Lake Bike Path – it’s the North Bay’s first public bike path with 17 acres of trails and jump courses for every skill level.

Sunshine, snacks and good company make springtime one of the most enjoyable seasons in Marin. And with nature as the best therapy, plan a picnic as the perfect way to enjoy it – food, in my book, is always part of the adventure!

We stay out late drinking cocktails at our favorite dive and wake up early to catch the sunrise from the top of our favorite mountain the next morning. While we may not have our lives wrapped up in a pretty bow yet, we’re having a good time figuring it out. Yes, we shell out cash for a five-star dinner one day and struggle to pay rent the next. But, most important, we’re a community. And we want you to be a part of it.

It’s hard to think of too many things that would surpass a nice weekend in Marin and treating yourself to some R&R, a time to forget all your troubles and sing Don’t Worry Be Happy.
