The December 31st NYE Gala Ride has been rescheduled to January 7th.
Join us on SATURDAY JANUARY 7th for the BTCEB End of Year Gala ride in the scenic MOUNT TAMALPAIS WATERSHED! Sorry that we couldn’t get one last ride in 2022 but make this the first of your New Year’s Resolution rides with a gorgeous Bay side of Mt. Tam trek to explore the Bon Tempe and Alpine lakes while riding through the wooded landscape. Come join the fun!
Meet at: DEER PARK PARKING AREA & TRAILHEAD 199 PORTEOUS AVE, FAIRFAX, CA 94930
We will gather at 9am at the Deer Park Trailhead by the restrooms and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am.
The Deer Park Trailhead is in Mt. Tam Watershed at the end of Porteous Ave and Deer Park Fire Rd. The parking is free inside the lot, but it is extremely limited. If the lot is full, there is ample street parking along Porteous Ave and Meernaa Ave. just outside the park. Carpooling is encouraged to make sure we have space for everyone.
Join us for refreshments, beer and snacks after the ride. A well-tuned mountain bike is a must!
We offer ride groups for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from novice to intermediate to advanced. All rides are ‘no-drop’ rides (we won’t leave you behind or let you get lost) and are fully supported. A novice rider should be able to ride 10-12 miles ( including ~1000ft of climbing) on hilly narrow singletrack for 2.5 hrs.
We will separate into 3 levels of riders: The beginner group, group C, will ride around 12 miles and 1400ft of elevation gain; The intermediate group, group B, will ride around 14 miles and 1600ft of elevation gain; the advanced group, group A, will ride around 15+ miles and 2000+ ft of elevation gain.
We will post-pone if there is rain the day of or before–be sure to check Meetup for the latest updates if the weather looks iffy.
Our Gala Rides are free and open to the public and led by experienced local mountain bikers familiar with the trails. Medical coverage is provided to all paid BTCEB members, one more reason to join! If you haven’t already, get your membership started today.
