 LJ from Turner sets up a demo rider Thanks to everyone who came out on a beautiful (mostly) weekend demoed a new Turner, hung out, ate and had fun! LJ from Turner Full Suspension Bicycles drove up from SoCal and people rolled out with new 2010 Fluxes, 5-Spots and Sultans (and got hecka muddy). Check out the photos here.  Bikes, BBQ & Tunes! More, more, more Turner: website, Facebook, MTBR.com, Wikipedia, and be sure to check out our review of the ’09 Turner 5-Spot from January ’09 here.  A great time was had by all!
We had a great time on Saturday (10/31/09) at the Trek / Gary Fisher Demo!
 Martin shows off the Fisher Cronus Ultimate Thanks to the over 60 people who came and ride bikes, and huge thanks Dax and John from Trek for bringing a trailer load of great bikes! We fed over 100 people lunch off the grill, it was a sunny day with good friends, tunes, and a lots of sweet 2010 bikes!! Check out photos from the event here, or read more for a list of the bikes we had, including photos and links to the Trek and Fisher web pages for those bicycles. » More »  Click for current conditions Click here for current local fog and weather conditions. Lots of folks ask us “what is the best weather site to check before my ride”. With our wacky microclimates and now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t fog, it’s hard to find up to the minute local info on temperatures around the county, and webcams only show so much. Enter the Wunderground “Wundermap”! It’s got up to the minute temps and conditions from all over the county and beyond, plus live visible satellite pix updated twice an hour so you can see where the fog might be. Check it out, here.  Klunkers Poster “Klunkers”, the fantastic film about the early days of mountain biking in Marin, is available on DVD at Sunshine. It even aired recently on KQED-TV’s “Truly CA” documentary series (details here, also hear the podcast of the accompanying KQED Radio interview with some of the stars of the film here). Voted by Bike Magazine as 2007′s “Best Movie Of the Year”, this is perhaps the best accounting of the early days of Mountain Biking on film, and on par in it’s depth and accuracy (with the fun factor turned way up) with the late 90′s book “The Birth Of Dirt“. Interviews with all the original players – many of whom still live in Fairfax and San Anselmo – are here. Joe Breeze, Gary Fisher, Otis Guy.. they’re all here. Get your copy of the DVD today at Sunshine Bikes, own your own piece of the local legend, and help support filmmaker Billy Savage all at the same time. Watch the trailer below, and enjoy it over, and over … Klunkerz!  Sunshine Bikes on Facebook We posted all our photos from the 2009 Tamarancho Invitational on our Facebook page, check them out right now! While you’re there become a Sunshine Fan on Facebook!!
Camp Tamarancho is a 9+ mile singletrack on private property outside Fairfax, built by the Bicycle Trails Council of Marin. You MUST have a pass, annual or day pass, to ride this property. Support legal singletrack in Marin. By purchasing a pass you also contribute to trail upkeep. Sunshine Bikes is a longtime, proud supporter of the trail system at Camp Tamarancho, which is owned and operated by Marin Council, Boy Scouts of America. This beautiful 480 acre hilly, forested property lies above Fairfax just on the east side of White’s Hill and has been encircled, over time, with a 9+ mile singletrack course, perfect for XC riding. Geared or singlespeed, rigid or with moderate suspension, you’ll be smiling the whole way. Long travel bikes are overkill here. This is a shared bike/hike course, please bear in mind there are lots of scouting activities up at Tamarancho, so beware that sometimes trails may be closed, even though the events are going on in the middle of camp. The course is made up of the following 6 trails:
Tamarancho Rules:
The people you have to thank for negotiating and building these trails and the bridges on them, and maintaining them, are the Bicycle Trails Council of Marin, and the Forest Knolls Freewheelers. Our deepest gratitude goes to them for creating such a gem. You can also buy annual Friends Of Tamarancho passes from the Boy Scouts online here. |
