Eight dirtlovers joined ride leader Rebecca Lewington at Fernandez Ranch, near Martinez, back on September 18th . Fernandez Ranch is a little gem of a park and has a singletrack trails that are, amazingly, fun to ride in both directions. Which we did, hitting almost every trail in the park twice! It’s possible they were just being polite, but everyone said they enjoyed themselves.
For the fourth edition of our reborn women’s ride series, we ventured beyond the East Bay up onto the Peninsula skyline. Ten of us hit fun, flowing singletrack in four preserves: Monte Bello, Skyline Ridge, Russian Ridge and Coal Creek.
The mission of RLAG is to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women who love to mountain bike. We achieved all three: it was a blast, few of us had seen any of these trails before and we had some first timers. I was also impressed how far our riders travelled: we had a party from Modesto and even one from San Diego!
We’re going even further West for the next Ride Like a Girl. Join us on Saturday, November 20 st to ride the trails in the Pacifica region. If it’s wet, which would be no bad thing, we’ll postpone. Follow BTECB on Facebook and Meetup to be alerted when signups open.
