Welcome to the latest addition to the Tamarancho trail network: Endor, Flow Trail. The trail, which is located near B-17/Broken Dam intersection, was built by volunteers and paid for entirely by donation. The .8 mile downhill-only trail took over 6 months and 3000 volunteer hours to build. 

Since the trail is a new experience for everyone in the Bay Area, we would like to make some recommendations so you can get the most out of your trail experience:

The trail builders recommend your first run down the trail as a "practice run" and then try to increase speed on following descents.

Please lower your seat. The trail has many berms and rollers. These require that your bike can move freely underneath you. A short stem and low seat is the key to unlocking the many fun features of the trail.

The trail can be ridden without pedaling. The roller features help riders gain speed without pedaling. The rollers can be pumped like a pump track to gain or even lose speed. No pedaling is the key to learning how to properly ride the trail. 

Be sure to have fun! Be courteous and kind to other riders. A moment spent teaching a fellow bike rider to be a better rider is one of the most rewarding things about riding at Tamarancho. You may make a new friend as well.

The Marin Council, BSA, is looking for an individual to work on weekends as a trail monitor. This position is responsible for education of bike riders about the regulations regarding use of trails at Tamarancho, and will include checking passes, dealing with safety issues, and educating riders about responsible use of the trails.

If you want more information, or to apply for the position, contact Michael Dybeck, Scout Executive. 

We are looking for the donation of an Apple IPad to be used in local bike stores to sell day passes and annual passes as part of a Square Cash Register. Of course your donation is tax deductible. To make a donation contact Danny Forer. 

Sunday June 9 is the Tamarancho Dirt Classic mountain bike race at Tamarancho. Many of the trails will be closed during the morning hours.

A new Tamarancho Trail Map has just been posted online and will shortly be installed at the upgraded Welcome Kiosk on Iron Springs. Jeff Vickers (of Vickers' Design) donated his time to design this attractive map. Jeff also designed the recent annual passes
