Join Shawnery H. for a relaxed and chill ride through some great fire roads throughout Marin County, as Kai would say, āMagical Marinā!!
We'll have three possible routes depending on how much you want to push yourself.
C/5.9(3565)/24;Ā Ā C+/5.7(5541)39;Ā Ā D/5.9(8017)54
There will be only one leader, me of course, so all shorter routes end with road routing for safety. FYI, even the D route will be at a slower than usual pace, as I'll be bringing out my not so young Padawan, who's still at the very beginning of her dirt experience. 99% of this is known fire trails, but there are a couple short sections of single track that could be walked if needed, only a quarter mile. This is not a race, so there's no worry about taking time to make things safe when needed. I know people see my rides and think, nevermind, it's a Shawnery ride, this isn't that. This is a chance to take yourself and your skills further than you may have in the past. I'm not the most experienced gravel/dirt rider, but I have done my fair share of monstrous gravel adventures and am willing and excited to help others on their journey. Trust me when I say this, if Karen, my Padawan, can put herself out there to attempt this, most anyone can, she's as green as they come!!!
If anyone is interested in trying this out, is 5ā10 to 6ā0, I have an extra gravel bike I'm selling and am more than willing to let someone else ride if interested. Just ping me,shawnery420@gmail.com, and you could come by today or early before the ride and we can set up the seat height for you.
Meet at 7:45 for an 8am start time near Fairfax Town hall.https://maps.app.goo.gl/4kzStn68TVyAtc4n7?g_st=ac
Lunch: Will be in Samuel P. Taylor park. Please bring your own lunch to enjoy during the day, there'll be zero food stops. In terms of water availability, it is sparse on this route. If you are considering anything longer than the C route, I would consider bringing a hydration pack and two water bottles, but you know your camel abilities better than I!!!
