Need a baseline to see how far you need to improve in six months? Think it’s already too late to start training for the Dipsea? Or, too early? We’ll as the Dipsea Gods, and especially the new ones: Don Pickett, Russ Kiernan, Darryl Beardall and Hans Schmidt would say – “The best time to start training for the Dipsea is the first day after the last Dipsea.” So, join your Tamalpa friends for the first Dipsea training run of 2025! We guarantee it will be a lot slower than you expected. We will meet on Saturday, January 18th at Old Mill Park in Mill Valley. (Wear layers). We’ll have car there to shuttle duffle bags over to Stinson. Following the singing of “Happy Birthday” to all the January babies, we will promptly depart at 9;10am and run the Dipsea course. Feel free to turn around whenever you want, Redwood Creek, top of Cardiac, bottom of Steep Ravine, or make it all the way to Stinson for a brunch (on your dime) at the Parkside Cafe. Make your own transportation plans back. There is the West Marin Stage Coach, which has a new schedule – check it out online.
