On September 24, I went to this Marin County peak with Marc KM6JKX. Evidently, the sport of mountain biking started on Pine Mountain with a race organized in 1976. It’s worth mentioning that the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame is located nearby in Fairfax, CA. We didn’t have time to stop by on this trip, but it should be of interest to those into cycling history.
It was 2.4 miles one way along the Pine Mountain Fire Trail. There was a great breeze all the way up, along with wonderful vistas typical of Marin County. The excellent pictures from this hike are courtesy of Marc, including a particularly nice shot of a turkey vulture that was circling around the trail for a good part of the hike.
Marc worked 2m and I stuck with my standard of 20m CW. Thanks to all the chasers: WW7D, N2ESE, K6EL, W2SE, and W9MRH!
