JB Rumburg, who grew up in Mill Valley, says the Tour du Fromage of San Francisco combines two of his passions: bicycling and cheese. Apparently he’s not the only one who feels that way.

My fiancee teases me about my cheese belly. Unfortunately, for me, it is an occupational hazard of being a cheesemonger.

I live, breathe and often dream about cheese. In fact, the only thing I might be more obsessed with than cheese is bicycling.

Growing up in Mill Valley, cheese and bikes were two formative influences on my upbringing. On March 3, I get to merge these two loves in the Tour du Fromage, a cheese-focused bike tour of San Francisco.
