 The Bay Area’s most gorgeous hike and ride – along the Ridge Trail through Marin and across the Golden Gate. |
|
| NOTE: TICK BLOOM – We have been informed of a ‘tick bloom’ on Mt. Tam, in late April, 2016. If your assignment takes anywhere where you might be at risk, TAKE PRECAUTIONS! Ticks in this area carry Lyme Disease. | |
Overview:
All participants check-in at the start/finish, and are bussed to their drop-off points to begin their hike, run or ride. Currently hikers and bicyclists begin and finish at the Presidio in San Francisco. 10 Mile Hikers hike from the Presidio to Tennessee Valley and are bussed back.
All stations are to announce arrival of the hiker / runner/ cyclist groups as they pass through.
All stations advise Net Control of the numbers of the final hiker group and arrival of the radio hikers.
We have described the station locations as best we can. Station locations may change from year to year. The equipment recommendations are based on past experience. Volunteers should be prepared for changing conditions.
