Get Ready for Ales and Trails 2009


Start gearing up for one of the best mountain bike events in Marin. Ales and Trails at China Camp is always a huge hit and fun event where you can sample great beer, go on group rides, test yourself on a skills course, and interact with great people. There are even events for kids like a kids race for children under 11 and jumping demos. All attendees get a grab bag of goodies.
David Weins, the mountain biking powerhouse who beat Lance Armstrong last year in the Leadville 100 and who was named one of Outside Magazine's badasses off 2008, will be leading an Advanced ride around China Camp’s great mountain biking trails, and I'll be leading an Intermediate ride sponsored by MarinFatTire. There are a number of other great rides for everyone from Beginners to Experts. Check out the site for all of the event info. Sponsors include Marin Bikes, Ergon, REI, DirtRag, WTB and MarinFatTire.com, to name a few. All proceeds go to IMBA California, an organization dedicated to keeping trails open for mountain biking and mountain biking advocacy in general. For more information about the event, please go to the Ales and Trails website.
I hope to see you there on May 2, 2009!
China Camp is located off of 101 in San Rafael. Take the North San Pedro Exit East. For China Camp mountain bike trail information check out China Camp Trails.
