Repack Remembered

Repack Road is a fast fire road that descends 1,300 feet in less than 2 miles. It was the site of races in the 1970’s using modified bicycles that could withstand the rigors of mountain trails. Workshops in the nearby Marin County town of Fairfax became a center for developing the new sport of mountain biking. The word “Repack” is linked to the birth of that sport.
