Long and short version available for this ride.  TWO DIFFERENT MEET TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Please read the ride details carefully.

Come celebrate Frank Valentini's birthday and let's do the Long Version from Frank's house.  ***Meet location will be furnished upon receipt of your registration confirmation, or you can email Frank at frankvalentini@gmail.com   For the Long version, Frank put together a 74 mile route that departs from his house.  We will meet there at 8:00AM.  Please arrive on time and be ready to roll at 8:15AM sharp.  We will ride together to Rustic Bakery at Larkspur Landing Circle to meet those doing the standard 55 mile route.  At the end of the ride after we return to Marin, those of us who want to ride back to Frank's house will go together; beverage and refreshments await us.  Others may choose to visit the optional final regroup point at Peet's Coffee, Bon Air Center in Greenbrae and ride on.

Wait, wait...there's more.  We have a guest speaker before the ride, Warren Wells,  Marin County Bicycle Coalition's Policy & Planning Director.  Warren will give a short presentation on the work past, present and future of MCBC, and will explain how interested riders can get involved with MCBC to advocate for safe streets in Marin.  An east coast native, Warren has been riding in Marin for the 4 years he's been in the bay area and has served in his current position with MCBC since July 2021.  He'll join us for a bit of the ride as well.

All riders must register in advance, members and non-members.  Please register for the route you are planning to ride so we can get a headcount for the post ride party.
