Ride Like a Girl is 18 next month! Eighteen rides since our pandemic hiatus, that is.
For the December, our Women’s ride series is off to Crockett Hills, which is absolutely lovely to behold at this time of year, as well as being a lot of fun to ride.
Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on Saturday, December 17th at 8:30 am in the parking lot on Crockett Blvd. We’ll gather up for quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll at 9:00 am.
We’ll likely split into two groups. The basic route will cover 13 miles with 1,800 feet of climbing. The bonus route will go a bit harder and add in a second lap of Tree Frog and the Wood Rat spur for 16.5 miles and 2,200 of climb.
Crockett Hills is fast and flowing, but not particularly technical, so this ride is suitable for beginner riders. (The faster you go, the more challenging it becomes!)

The mission of Ride Like a Girl 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.
Please bring your mountain bike, obviously, in good working condition. (Ebikes are not permitted at in these parks.) 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 your favorite beverages and snacks if you feel like it. And a chair!
And please consider joining BTCEB! We are much more than a group that puts on rides. BTCEB tirelessly advocates for better bike access on trails in the East Bay and we need your support. Join today at https://btceb.org/join-us/.
If you have questions, please leave a comment at the signup link and we’ll get right back to you.
