MCBC Dirt Fondo - Epic Ride on Mt. Tam on August 27
The Marin County Bicycle Coalition is proud to announce the 6th Annual MCBC Dirt Fondo, an all-day mountain bike ride on Sunday, August 27, 2017. We encourage bicyclists of all skill levels to join us on one of the most spectacular and challenging off-road bicycle rides you'll experience!
The ride will start in the Marin Headlands at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The 45-mile route takes cyclists on a journey that climbs and descends a number of ranges before an ascent to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. After stopping to take in the amazing view, riders will continue on a loop around the mountain before rolling back to the Headlands for a grand BBQ feast and stories around the campfire.
While not everyone is prepared to ride such a great distance, we encourage all interested parties to give it a try. There will be turn-back options at the 5, 10 and 16 mile mark, creating loops of 10, 20 and 32 miles. And you have most of the day to complete the ride.
There will be great support along the journey, including three well-stocked energizer stations, ride leaders and sweeps, SAG and mechanics to help with minor repairs.
WHAT: An endurance ride, with 20 mile, 32 mile and 45 mile options
WHEN: Sunday, August 27, 2017 (Soft start between 7 AM and 8 AM - No starts after 8AM!)
WHERE: Presidio Riding Club on Bunker Road in Marin Headlands.
FEE: $95 Includes well supported ride complete with SAG and energizer stations, a BBQ feast with Lagunitas beer and a special MCBC Dirt Fondo t-shirt and water bottle.
