Ride your bike. Feed the hungry.

Calling all riders for a Marin County Bicycle Coalition event to benefit the Marin county Food Bank

When: Saturday, November 12
Registration starts at 1:00. Ride starts at 2PM
After-Party: 5:00 at the Marin Brewing Company, Larkspur

Cranksgiving Marin is the cycling community coming together to help the less fortunate by collecting food for the Marin County Food Bank. It’s a fun way to use our bicycles for a great cause. We’ll ride to different grocery stores to collect all the food on our shopping list on a scenic tour through six marin county communities.

Riders will receive a “manifest” before the ride that they will use as a shopping list to purchase items from various grocery stores along the route. Bagging rights go to the rider or team that completes first and the rider/team that collects the most. In the end, the community wins. All food is donated to the Marin county Food Bank who efficiently redistributes food to those in need.

The event is free, but you need to bring enough money to purchase the items on the manifest. We recommend asking people you know to help by donating to your cause. Remember to bring your biggest panniers and strongest bike if you plan to collect a lot of food. And don’t forget your lock, too.

Enjoy a beer or two at the After-Party at the Marin County Brewing company starting at 5:00 when the winners of each category will be announced.
