At Midnight, Sunday June 21 the Summer solstice De La starts here in Marin County. This is an underground race organized by two unnamed friends of mine twice yearly-at the start of Summer and the start of Winter. It's approximately 100 miles in the dirt nonstop and goes on lots of trails you're not supposed to be on, with over 15,000 feet of climbing! The route changes each time, and you have to be invited to participate. The course is usually so grueling that only 10-20 per cent of the 100 or so entrants finish, and the only prizes are bragging rights in the local MTB community. Definitely an event for the ultra distance riders, as the first finishers usually take 14-18 hours, depending on that day's course. Pat
