Ride Like a Girl - Women's MTB Ride - Joaquin Miller

Ride Like a Girl - Women's MTB Ride - Joaquin Miller

Sat, Aug 15, 3:30 PM
From Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay
4.8

Want to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women (cis, trans and femme) who love to mountain bike? You're in the right place! For the August edition of BTCEB's women's ride series, we're going to hit the nifty singletrack of Joaquin Miller Park and then we have a special treat: fearless ride leader Heather lives just down the hill from Joaquin Miller and we're all invited over for a potluck! Bring something to share and your favorite beverage, and come and hang with us. Message us if you need to drop something at Heather's house ahead of the ride. But before that, we ride. Join leaders Rebecca and Heather at 8:30am at the Elephant Barn parking lot in Joaquin Miller Park, 3594 Sanborn Drive, Oakland, CA 94602. We'll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll by 9:00 am. To get to the parking lot, head up Joaquin Miller Rd to the park entrance and turn into the park on Sanborn Dr. Go just past the community center/ranger station lot and make the next left. We'll split into two groups. The Teal group will cover about 12 miles with 1,700 feet of climbing. The Denim group will be a bit more challenging, covering about 16 miles with 2,500 feet of climbing. Note that some of these trails aren't suitable for beginners. Intermediate and up will have a great time. 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. BTCEB tirelessly advocates for better bike access on trails in the East Bay and we need your support. Please consider joining today at [https://btceb.org/join-us/](https://btceb.org/join-us/). Note that medical coverage is provided to all paid BTCEB members, one more reason to join. If you have questions, please comment below and we’ll get right back to you.
