Welcome to the Marin Marauder’s Progressive Sunday Rides Training Series. The Spring Fling Progressive rides are designed to get you ready for the epic Big ride in June. We start off with smaller rides and build each week until you are riding over 100 miles a day and climbing like a pro. If you take part in this series you will most certainly be ready for ALC 2025. Not only are the rides epic, but the scenery and the people are too. We are a warm and welcoming group of cyclist of all ages and shapes. All AIDS/LifeCycle official training rides are an inclusive and safe space welcoming ANY and ALL, regardless of skill level or cycling pace.
We have done this route, but it’s so loved, let’s do it again! We will leave Hal Brown, and of course, head over white Hill, Nicasio and Cheese Hill. After a brief rest at the Cheese Factory we will head out to Hicks Valley road and up the Famous Wilson Hill. It’s a climb for sure, but totally doable at this point. At the top you will rest and take in the scenery before heading down a wonderful descent into Petaluma nad lunch at the local market. After that we will head back to Hal Brown park with a rest at the Coffee Roastery in Novato. Thi sis a really nice route and you don’t want to miss it!
The route is at: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31476239/
All skill levels are welcome! If any ride is too much, we will work with you on making sure you have alternatives to the entire route. You will have a great bike ride. That’s a win! And remember, safety is critical. We will be following all bicycling laws and regulations.
Reach out with any of your questions or concerns. You really can do this.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP so we have an idea of who’s coming. Have questions? Contact Ken and Temo at marinmarauders@gmail.com
REQUIRED ITEMS: bike, helmet, water bottle(s), tire changing tools.
Parking: The rangers have politely asked us to NOT park directly in front of the park. Rather park further down Bon Air Road or on the opposite side of the street from the Park. By doing so, we will give greater access to the park by other patrons
