Welcome!
Welcome to the Marin Marauder's Progressive Sunday Rides Training Series. The Spring Fling Progressive rides are designed to get you ready for whatever ride you have scheduled. We start off with smaller rides and build each week until you are riding over 100 miles a day and climbing like a pro. If you take part in this series you will most certainly be ready for just about any ride! Not only are the rides epic, but the scenery and the people are too. We are a warm and welcoming inclusive group of cyclist of all ages and shapes.

The Route
This ride in the series takes us to Marshall via some spectacular scenery and a couple of notable hills. We leave Hal Brown Park and passing through San Rafael stop for a Coffee at Peet’s at Northgate Mall before enjoying the exhilaration of a climb up Big Rock on Lucas Valley Road (photos at the top please). After the lovely gentle descent, we pass through Nicasio and make a stop at the Marin Cheese Factory before heading into the beautiful Marin countryside of Hicks Valley, and the Marshall Petaluma Rd. We climb the notorious (but really NOT that bad) Marshall Wall and drop down to the Shoreline Highway to views of spectacular Tamales Bay. A rest stop at the Marshall Store gives the fearless of the group the option of refueling on oysters, before we reach Point Reyes. We head home along the now familiar route of Samuel P. Taylor Park and Lagunitas, Fairfax, and back to Hal Brown Park. This is a challenging ride, and you are READY at this point!!
