Holstein Riders, bring your family! 
We have shorter routes, 15 and 35 mile, mostly
flat, rural roads.  Come give them a try and/or volunteer at a rest stop to cheer on your family
and friends.  Also, at Petaluma High School,
there is a wonderful
Wildlife and Natural Science Museum.

They will be open on Saturday, August 20th
from 11-3 for tours.

Routes, Support & Lodging Information below

Stunning scenery along beautiful rural roads in West Marin and Sonoma counties.
