2025 Headless Horseman Ride + after party

Event Date: Oct 30th 7:00pm

Event Location: Loma Alta / 680 

  • The Ride

    There is no set route though the group usually leaves The Java Hut/Good Earth parking lot shortly after 7:00PM, rides through town to Glen Drive, up the Loma Alta Fire Road and over to the 680 Trail before descending onto Butterfield and back into Fairfax for some post-ride beers at the bars in town. Sub-groups often peel off for other options. 

    One the way, most stop for a view at the knoll just south of the 680 crest before continuing down. The trail itself is a climb but not the worst in Marin by a long shot and most take it slow. The descent is non-technical, a mix of fire road, single-track and switchbacks. You'll need a good handlebar or helmet light in addition to your pumpkin light. 

  • After party at Splitrock! Extended hours!


The Turkey Hold ‘Em is a fundraising adventure ride in beautiful southern Marin County benefiting the Marin Museum of Bicycling and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition.
