What's Happening this Labor Day Weekend

Here's what's happening in San Rafael:

A ranger will lead a bike ride through the scenic woodlands that dot this Novato preserve. Included in this “tour de creek” is a talk about marshland ecology, the preserve’s history, and riding recommendations for Marin County. Bring snacks, water and a mountain bike. There’s a request that no dogs or other animals (except service animals) attend. Rain cancels all outdoor events, high wind cancels aquatic events, and high fire danger cancels events on affected open space preserves.
