After 14 super fun and amazing summers, we're thrilled to announce the passing of the Fairfax Cycling Camp torch to our friend, Emile Mulholland! Emile (read more here) has a unique set of experiences and skills, as well as being a kind and good person - we think he's the perfect person and can't wait to collaborate with him during this transition.
The son and grandson of educators, Emile was born and raised in Ross Valley and West Marin. He has had a life-long involvement in cycling, fostered by his father, who was a cycling journalist in the 1980's, who took Emile to watch the Tour de France (in France!) as a child. Shortly after graduating from high school, Emile helped create the storied Drake/Archie Williams mountain bike team, before going on to UC Santa Cruz and graduating with a degree in Environmental Studies. He had considerable success racing on the roads and trails before becoming a coach himself.
Emile has been leading after school rides, summer camps, and overnight trips for years. As a proud girl dad to two young girls, both public school students in the Ross Valley School District, Emile has taken a special interest in promoting girls' cycling, and takes particular joy in leading after school rides for his daughter and her friends. Emile is married to an elementary school teacher, so we know his family keeps children's development in mind, even when shredding the gnar!
We are beyond delighted to share with Emile what makes FXCC special, and we know that he is the person to take FXCC to the next level!
Mitch will be working Week 1, and will be popping by from time-to-time. We expect that camp will remain the magical experience you and your camper have known it to be. Click here to read more and register. We offer an early bird discount until April 15th again this year.
