After last month’s China Camp session, it’s back to the East Bay for a mellow-yet-fun spin around Fernandez Ranch near Martinez. Fernandez Ranch is quite lovely in the Spring when the world is green.
Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on Saturday, April 19th, at 8:30am in the parking lot at 1081 Christie Road, Martinez, CA 94553. (The narrow road to the parking lot is a bit peculiar; watch for the Fernandez Ranch sign and parking lot on the right. If you run out of road, you’ve gone too far!) We’ll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll by 9:00 am.
Our route will cover about 12 miles with 1,600 feet of climbing, so be prepared for a moderate workout, but the downhills will make it all worthwhile. These trails are suitable for riders of all skill levels. We may split into two groups, one of which will go further and faster.
The mission of Ride Like a Girl is to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women (cis, trans and femme) 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. Ride Like a Girl is strictly acoustic.) 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!
