Here's another great destination if you need an excuse to go on a motorcycle ride, courtesy of Marin Agricultural Land Trust
(MALT) Spring 2009 Hikes and Tours. These destinations just happen to be right smack in the middle of some great motorcycling roads.
Especially if you're traveling between San Francisco and
the Napa/Sonoma Wine Country, this is a great "road-less-taken" and a
rare chance to meet the locals on their own home turf. Get out your map
and check it out.
Hog Island Oyster Co. & Straus Dairy 
Thursdays, April 23 & May 14
Join
local oystermen for a tour of their oystergrowing operation. Taste
bivalves grown in Tomales Bay and enjoy great views while eating your

homeopathy, keeping organic feed free of genetically modified corn, and
