The Marin Marauders is an AIDS Lifecycle training group based in Marin County, offering training rides to prepare cyclists for the AIDS Lifecycle 2019. If you live in Marin, this group is perfect for you. If you live in San Francisco, avoid the fog and crowds of the Golden Gate Bridge, and join the group that starts in beautiful and sunny (mostly!) Marin. We meet at the park opposite Marin General Hospital on Bon Air Road in Greenbrae, and ride on Sunday. The series (from January to May) will start off slow and easy – and each week we add on a few miles and learn a few new techniques. All AIDS/LifeCycle official training rides are an inclusive and safe space welcoming ANY and ALL, regardless of skill level or cycling pace.
Our fourteenth ride in the series takes us almost ‘coast to coast’ riding out to Point Reyes and finishing with a circuit of China Camp, capturing various parts of previous rides in the series. The ride leaves from Hal Brown Park (by Marin General Hospital) and heads out through Fairfax and over White hill to our first rest stop at Lagunitas Market. We travel on a gentle downhill through the prettiest part of Sir Francis Drake Blvd, and then along the Cross Marin Trail through Samuel P Taylor Park, over Olema Hill, and taking the Bear Valley detour, arrive in Point Reyes. Heading east, we pass by the Nicasio Reservoir, and after taking a brief stop at the Marin Cheese factory continue towards Petaluma. Short of reaching Petaluma we take a right on San Antonio and travel south to Novato, stopping at the Starbucks/Trader Joes on Redwood Blvd, and on to Northgate Mall for a final rest stop, before heading out for a loop of China Camp and returning through San Rafael to Hal Brown Park.
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!
