“The Bolinas Ridge Ramble was epic!”

With the Dirt Fondo Series underway, find out what people are saying about the rides and learn how to get in on the action!

“Just finished the Bolinas Ramble. What a great route. Old Vee and Bill’s Trail were both new to me and stunningly beautiful. Did it on my Salsa Cutthroat. Probably the first and last time I’ll ride north past Randall. Bill’s was a welcome relief afterwards. Thanks again for organizing this.” – Brian Mulder
“We did the Bolinas Ridge Ramble yesterday ✌ So muddy, so long and so fun! Thanks a lot for organizing!” – Team BikeRider (Mikael, Nick, and Cilla)
“Thank you for the inspiration and the beautiful course-planning. Here’s to a fantastic summer with MCBC!”  – Rainbow Underhill
“That was some ride today – we got the whole thing done. The Olema Trail section was a real positive surprise and Randal was not as bad as I feared.” – Stu Ryan
“Epic ride and beautiful day.” – Aaron Bickel

Dirt Fondo transitions to series format in 2021!

The MCBC Dirt Fondo expands into a series of three curated do-it-yourself rides in May, June and July culminating in an in-person finale on Saturday, August 14. Each ride highlights new and classic trails, challenging routes and fun ways to win prizes!

You’re Gonna Need Storage!

There is no support on a D.I.Y. ride, so you’re going to need to bring a lot of stuff! We’ve put together a short video that covers options for storage on the bike or on the body. Click here to check it out!
