It is clearly fund raising season for local NorCal bike groups. We came across the 3rd event is about as many weeks. This time it was for Marin trails group MCBC and the NorCal High School Cycling League. Lead by local Enduro champion Mark Weir, the no-drop ride took a route through Fairfax fire roads before returning through Tamarancho Singletrack. After the ride, participants were treated to a BBQ near the MCBC office. Weir has been a key supporter for the Stafford Lake Bike Park project in Novato, which if completed, will be a huge addition to the Bay Area riding community.
