Marin 'Spring Training' MTB week with Todd
Mar 18,2017
Posted By:
Thierry Blanchet
Thanks Todd for another edition of the 'Spring Training' MTB week, touring Bryna and me around your local trail networks of Marin and neighboring Sonoma Counties. Well-timed, roughly ten days after the winter rains came to an end, the trails were all in uniformly great shape. Nice having Matt Nawrocki join in for our Tamarancho portion of the Tuesday ride, and Dan Barbee in for the Wednesday China Camp/Dominican ride as well as guiding us through his great version of Anadel State Park trails on Friday. Typical ~40 mile / 4000' climb / 4+ hour pedaling time rides, feeling good and worked, with plenty of nice scenery and comradery along the way, ready for the Northeast race season to get underway!

Sunday: Skeggs Point trails off of Skyline Drive, south on the peninsula, not far from the airport. Always a nice kickoff when Todd treats us to a airport pickup.
