Ride Like a Girl - Women's MTB Ride at Pacifica

Next up in our women’s ride series, we’re going to ride the scenic and entertaining trails just south of Pacifica. These trails drain well, so there's a good chance we'll get on our pre-holiday turns.

Join ride leader Rebecca on Saturday, December 21st at 8:30am in the parking lot cross the street from the excellent Humble Sea Brewing Company, 5560 Pacific Coast Hwy, Pacifica, CA 94044. Guess where the post-ride hangout will be?

We’ll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll at 9:00 am.

We'll probably split into two groups. The Teal group will cover 10 miles with 1,500 feet of climbing. The Denim group will go a bit harder and add in a second lap of the Devil's Slide trail (aka Old Colma Road) for 17 miles and 2,700 feel of climb. That sounds like a lot, but one of the nice things about Pacifica is that the climbs are fairly gentle.

These trails aren't particularly technical, but there are a couple of tricky spots and some places where you don't want to stray too far off the trail, so it's not suitable for complete beginners.

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.

And please join 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. Join today at https://btceb.org/join-us/.
