Unfortunately, December’s Holiday Gala ride in Mount Tamalpais Watershed was postponed a week because of the rain. That meant after a more than THREE YEAR hiatus (due to weather and COVID-19) BTCEB was back riding this time on January 2nd when the rain finally gave way!
Twenty-five hot-blooded, mountain bike riders joined us on that freezing day. It was literally 32 degrees when we left Deer Park! So extra gloves and cold weather gear was needed.
Group riders worked hard climbing and riding to stay warm. After dropping down Shaver grade, the Sun came out and joined us.
It turned into a beautiful day as we toured over the dam, around Bon Tempe lake and Lake Lagunitas.
Afterwards, everyone had a good hang and were able to enjoy a bit of hot apple cider to warm the belly. And if you paid close attention, a number of riders were seen leaving the park in our brand new BTCEB riding shirt. Come get yours at our next Gala Ride!
