Join Bicycle Trails Council on **SATURDAY MAY 30TH** for our next Gala ride as we return to the flowy redwood trails at **JOAQUIN MILLER PARK!** As always this will be a fun time looping through one of the parks BTCEB helps maintain. We will be riding the Big Trees loop, climbing up Sunset, catching the view of the Oakland skyline, and dropping down the fast and fun Cinderella. The advanced groups will also rip down Chaparral and Castle Park while others may venture across Skyline to catch a few trails in Redwood. Should be an awesome time as always! **[RSVP](https://www.meetup.com/bicycletrailscouncil/events/314855225)** to join the ride! And do us a favor an **[SIGN THE WAIVER](https://esign.ottersign.com/p/bicycle-trails-council-of-the-east-bay/0BjaK2PbhC)** now rather than at the ride. Meet at: JOAQUIN MILLER PARKING LOT - ELEPHANT BARN 3594 SANBORN DR OAKLAND CA 94602 We will gather at 9am at the Elephant Barn parking lot and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am. The ELEPHANT BARN parking lot is within the JOAQUIN MILLER PARK on Sanborn Dr. 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 a left into the larger parking lot, which is the Elephant Barn lot. Join us for refreshments and snacks after the ride at **[GHOSTOWN BREWING](https://www.ghosttownbrewing.com/)** in the Laurel. A well-tuned mountain bike is a must! * We offer rides for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from novice to advanced. We will separate into at least 3 levels of riders: The beginner group, group C, will ride around 8 miles and 900ft of elevation gain; the intermediate group, group B, will ride around 10 miles and 1500ft of elevation gain; the advanced group, group A, will ride around 15+ miles and 1500+ ft of elevation gain. 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. * **BTCEB (Bicycle Trails Council of East Bay)** is the oldest Mountain Bike Advocacy Non-Profit in the USA. We are a volunteer run, advocacy group for mountain bikers; we work to get more rideable narrow trails in the East Bay. * We help maintain trails within East Bay parks (like Joaquin Miller and Crockett Hills) * We organize fun rides and events for the mountain bike community.
