Big Rock/Skywalker Singletrack is a go to when it is wet. There are not a lack of trails in Marin but there are a lack of trails the are ridable after or during the rain. Big Rock is great after the rain, it drains well and doesn't get sloppy, but, it is a very exposed. During a clear day it can offer some of the most beautiful views in Marin, look to the North and see Novato and Mount Burdell, to the East you may see San Pablo bay and Mount Diablo and to the South you may even see the Cityscape of San Francisco and of course Mount Tam.
Todays ride offered none of these views, once to the top visibility was about 75-100 feet, it was foggy and cold, so our turn around was quick, but the trail was in prime condition, nice and sticky, very few puddles for as much rain as we have gotten in the past two weeks.
My friend's Santa Cruz Bronson and my Pivot Mach 6 loved their first 2016 ride! Here is a picture at the start of "big rock".
