Meadow is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Harry A Barbier Memorial Park, a city-managed park in California. The ride covers about 0.9 miles, with a high point of 945 feet and a low of 873 feet, for a total elevation gain of about 47 feet. It is a hard ride, and the park's city land makes it an easy stop to fold into a day spent exploring the surrounding trails. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in San Rafael show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 75°F, with only a few wet days in each month. That station sits well below the park, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The Ridge Fire Trail and the Maytag mountain biking route both start about 0.1 mile away, and the Bay View Trail is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can head to Mount Tamalpais, roughly 6 miles away.
