Many people take the joy of riding a bike in Marin parks and other wild areas as a given. Marilyn Price, founder of Trips for Kids, said that this simple experience isn’t possible for everyone. We have always tried to make that a little easier. The fundraiser helps us all!
Throughout the afternoon, raffles will take place for bike-related prizes. Jamis Bicycles will donate a Jamis Dakar XCR Sport dual suspension mountain bike as the grand prize. Other items will be available for silent auction, including a 2009 Marin Bikes 29er mountain bike. The event will also offer raffle tickets. To win, ticket holders do not need to be present.
