Saturday September 18th – 8:30AM to Noon
The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay (BTCEB) hosts a women-only mountain bike ride, usually on the third weekend of the month. The intent of the ride is to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women who love to mountain bike. We’ll take care of you: these are no-stress rides where no one is left behind.
The next episode of Ride Like a Girl will be on Saturday, September 18th at scenic Fernandez Ranch, which is located not far from Martinez. Fernandez Ranch is quite lovely and has a singletrack trails that are, amazingly, fun for all skill levels. Our route will cover about 12 miles with 1,600 feet of climbing, so be prepared for a moderate workout, but the downhills will make it all worthwhile.
Join ride leaders Rebecca Lewington and Ariana Milelli (fresh from racing in Europe against some of the best riders in the world!). We’ll gather at 8:30am at the parking lot at 1081 Christie Road, Martinez, CA 94553. This will give us plenty of time to sign in, go over how the rides work and answer any questions you might have before rolling out at 9am.
Sign up at for the ride on Meetup. Please bring your mountain bike (no ebikes) in good working condition. Whether you’re running tubeless tires or not, please make sure you have a spare inner tube to fit your wheels, plenty of water and some food for the trail.
We usually hang out for a while after the ride, so bring along after-ride beverages and snacks if you feel like it. If anyone needs a little help with their technique, we can do impromptu skills classes then.
And don’t forget to join BTCEB! We are much more than a group that puts on group rides. BTCEB tirelessly advocates for better bike access on trails in the East Bay and we need your support. Join today at memberplanet.com/btceb.
Please RSVP to join the ride or post ride specific questions on the Meetup page.
