The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay (BTCEB) hosts a women-only mountain bike ride, usually on the first 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.
This time, we’ll hit the trails at Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley on August 21st. Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington (Ariana Milelli will be racing her bike in Europe!) at 8:30am at the trailhead at Redwood Canyon Golf Course on Redwood Road. 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 on our Meetup page.
Our basic route will cover about 12 miles with 1,900 feet of climbing, so be prepared for a workout, but the downhills will make it all worthwhile. For those who find themselves with something left in the tank near the end of the ride, there will be an opportunity for an extra singletrack loop which adds about three miles and 600 feet of climbing.
Please bring your mountain bike (obviously) 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.
If you have questions, please comment below and we’ll get right back to you.
Please RSVP to join the ride or post ride specific questions on Meetup.
