Overview

Marin Cyclists Club was founded in 1963 by a small group of cycling enthusiasts led by Ken Potter. We are primarily a road cycling club but we also host mountain and occasional gravel rides.

We encourage non members to try out a ride before joining the club. We host an easy recovery pace ride every Sunday. You can see upcoming rides on our homepage. The full calendar is available when you join the club.

Mostly flat ride on country roads. Great road surfaces most of the ride. Detour to Canavari Deli in Santa Rosa to pick up a sando and take out to Matanzas creek for a picnic in the lavendar. Not much of a shoulder on Bennett Valley Road... use pull outs to let cars pass.
