Mixed-terrain goodness happening in Marin…

There are a couple of sweet mixed terrain rides coming up in July in Marin County. The first is Carlos’ La Ruta Loca Randonnee, a brutal (so say the participants) on/off-road ride from the city through Marin’s dirt and paved roads before recrossing the bridge back to the city. Check out the information at Carlos’ blog It Followed Me Home. This ride happens this Sunday July 10. Bring your climbing legs as the elevation gain is in the 15k range.

Then on July 23-25, Chris Kostman is putting on his Rough Riders Marin Rally. This ride is sure to bring in folks from all over, including Jacquie Phelan. This event is sure to be a bit less masochistic that La Ruta Loca.
