Tam Velo Club Wants You To Be Safe.
As you are aware, Marin County is part of a shelter-in-place directive for seven Bay Area counties (San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda and Santa Cruz) to slow the transmission of COVID-19. These orders restrict any activities outside of one’s home that are not essential.
After contacting the Marin Public Health Department, the Marin Sheriff and the Mill Valley Police Department, it has been confirmed that the order does allow exercise activities such as riding your bike, taking a walk or jogging. Any exercise should be done at a social distance of at least six feet from people who are not members of your household when doing so. You can also read more on the restriction in the San Francisco Chronicle article here.
Given the circumstances it is best that we hold off on the weekly scheduled Sunday 10am rides until the shelter-in-place order is lifted. The order is scheduled to remain in effect through April 7. In addition special club rides we are planning from our sponsors’ offices, stores and restaurants that are suspended until the order is lifted. However please consider supporting our sponsors online whenever possible.
Please note that the club kit order is still in process. The first order is scheduled to be delivered some time around April 15 and the second order by the end of April. If there are any delays due to new developments you’ll be informed as soon as possible. Once we receive the kits we will make arrangements for how best to pick up your orders.
It’s important that we all stay safe, healthy and connected during this time, so the Tam Velo Club email will be continued for now to share any relevant information we can provide. If you have any comments or questions on our policies please contact us directly at [email protected].

OUR WEEKLY RIDE
The TVC Road Ride
This ride meets every Sunday 10AM at Equator ProofLab. Come out for an awesome ride of around 35-50 miles with 3000ft or less of elevation gain depending on the route. |
Our philosophy:Let's have fun!We want everyone to have as much fun riding a bike as we do. So we created Tamalpais Velo Club to be an inclusive cycling club, where the weekly rides are all No-Drop, there are no hammerfests and each ride is tuned to all riders that are participating. The bottom line for us is participation, not speed, and encouraging residents of Marin and beyond to enjoy our beautiful county!
|
Three things we stick to...
Reasonable speed.The average Tour de France rider maintains an average speed of 25-28 MPH on flats. We aren't Tour de France riders and we keep it to 15-17 MPH average on the flats.
|
No Drop.This means that no rider is left behind, and we predetermine points on each ride to let slower riders catch up.
|
No hammering.Want to hammer? This club is NOT for you. That's not to say we don't ride well and sometimes fast, but we are about community and fun first, not testosterone.
|

We are very grateful to have the support of some of Marin's best businesses! Whether you are a member of Tam Velo Club, or thinking about joining our rides, we encourage you to patronize our sponsors. You can learn more about them or get information about sponsoring us by clicking here.

Warning and Your Assumption of Risk:
With regard to all rides, Tamalpais Velo Club (Tam Velo Club) is not responsible for anything that happens. Tam Velo does not sponsor, run, plan, lead, or direct any rides. Tam Velo Club does not recommend that you participate in any ride and advises great caution and personal consideration before assuming the risks of riding your bike, whether alone or in a group.
Cycling is a sport undertaken for enjoyment and thrill, requiring physical exertion, elements of skill, and involving a challenge that contains inherent risks. These risks can include serious injury or death, whether riding alone or with others. Road conditions, other cyclists, motor vehicles, wind, water, road debris (such as rocks, oil, leaves, sticks, glass, and metal pieces), mechanical and tire failures, falling or windborne objects, and poor lighting are just a few examples of the risks involved that can lead to crashes or other injuries.
Safety equipment such as helmets, lights, and appropriate clothing may reduce some risks to a degree but do not eliminate the inherent dangers of the sport. Riding in a group, while a fundamental aspect of cycling, can also increase certain risks due to reduced sightlines, increased speeds, aggressive riding, and potential collisions with other riders.
Additionally, bicycling may lead to acute or chronic health conditions, including death. It is recommended that you consult your physician for guidance, and you may also find the National Institutes of Health Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans helpful.
Your participation in the recreational sport of cycling, including group rides, is a voluntary assumption of all the aforementioned risks.
