→ Announcing the new Tam Velo Club Tri Group! ←
TVC Member Andrew Quong will be leading a weekly Triathlon training session to help you gain some focus and fitness ahead of the tri season and prepare you for the Marin Triathlon. We'll meet at our TVC sponsor Trek Store Corte Madera's parking lot, where you can check your air and grab any last minute fuel before training.
This is a great opportunity to try out triathlon if you're new to the sport, or if you're a seasoned triathlete to help us support launching a Marin based tri group as part of our Tam Velo Club community!
If you'd like join in the TVC Tri training sessions, please email us for more information at [email protected].
Whether you're a seasoned triathlete, or just tri-curious, we hope you'll join us!

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.

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.
