For August, it’s back to the East Bay at Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley. Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on August 20th 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.

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. These trails are suitable for less-experienced riders.
As always, 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. (No ebikes, please. They’re not allowed in this park.) 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 always hang out for a while after the ride, so bring along your favorite beverages and snacks if you feel like joining us. 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.
If you have questions, please comment at the signup link and we’ll get right back to you.
