After crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, we stopped at Cibo in Sausalito for some caffeine (like I said, we love our coffee.)

Cibo's the home of 2girl Coffee, which has some clever descriptions for their assortment of beans.

After getting fueled up, we headed onwards to "Paradise Loop," a scenic and popular route located just past Tiburon.

Marin Brewing Company was packed to capacity as it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Just behind the bar, there's a window where you can see their selection of fresh beer currently stored on the premises.

They also serve up the usual array of bar food including burgers, sandwiches and wood-fired pizza.

I ordered their Platypus Venom, a strong 10% ABV Imperial Stout (which I had to try since the platypus is my favorite animal) seasoned with star anise and blackstrap molasses. It's a pretty hefty brew that would go well with a dark chocolate dessert.

After a leisurely lunch, most folks opted to take the ferry home afterwards from Larkspur.

But a small group of us slowly rolled back to SF -- after waiting for our beer buzzes to wear off - so we could spend more time in the warm winter sunshine. Bicycles + beer = bliss!
