ABOUT THE RIDE

Join us on September 20th for our annual Adventure Revival fundraiser, a beautiful ride through the stunning mountains of West Marin, benefiting the NorCal Interscholastic Cycling League (NorCal League) and Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC). These two respected community leaders are shaping the future of cycling in Marin—getting more kids on bikes, advocating for safer infrastructure, and building a culture of access and sustainability. Your support makes a real, local impact—helping continue the work that benefits all of us who ride.

Event Overview

We’ll roll from the San Geronimo Club House on Saturday, September 20th, at 8 am.

All registrations include lunch, a glass of beer or wine (if you’re 21 or older, of course), and some swag (stay tuned for more info).
The ride will start at 8 am for all routes.
This is a fundraiser ride, not a race! So we won’t be timing the event.

Are e-bikes allowed?

We do not offer routes that are e-bike legal at this time. All routes cross multiple parks and e-bike regulations are inconsistent from agency to agency.

The Routes

45 miles + 5,300 feet

This is not your average mountain bike ride! Take a look at the Strava file for details. You're going to want 2.0 tires or wider, probably a little bit of rear suspension, and at least a 32/52 or 30/52 climbing gear. Even with that, the steep climb up Grassy Slope will be difficult. We rode sections of the course on gravel bikes, hardtails, and full suspensions, and an XC full sus or a beefcake hardtail won our hearts.

TRADITIONAL TERRITORY OF THE COAST MIWOK

As you enjoy the trails in Marin, please remember that you are riding within the traditional territory of the Coast Miwok, many of whom are now citizens of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Please help us acknowledge the Tribe and their continuing legacy as caretakers of their ancestral territory, and do your part to not disrupt the landscape by staying on the trail.
