Name: BTCEB Gala Ride November 30th at China Camp (SATURDAY)
Start: 2024-11-30T17:00:00.000Z
End: 2024-11-30T20:30:00.000Z
Location: 730 N San Pedro Rd

For November, it’s back to the East Bay at Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley. Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on November 16th at 8:30am at the trailhead at Redwood Canyon Golf Course on Redwood Road. This will give us plenty of time to sign in, go over how the rides work and answer any questions you might have before rolling out at 9am.

Our basic route will probably cover about 12 miles with 1,900 feet of climbing, so be prepared for a workout. But the downhills will make it all worthwhile. For those who find themselves with something left in the tank near the end of the ride, there will be an opportunity for an extra singletrack loop which adds about three miles and 600 feet of climbing. These trails are suitable for less-experienced riders.

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 always hang out for a while after the ride, so bring along your favorite beverages and snacks if you feel like it. And a chair!

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/](https://btceb.org/join-us/).

If you have questions, please comment below and we’ll get right back to you.

The Bicycle Trails Council of East Bay invites you to **JOIN US SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30th** for our post gobble-gobble Gala ride on the flowy trails **AT** **CHINA CAMP!**

We will be riding the Bay View to Shoreline trails loop, around the shores of Marin, up Oak Ridge to get a view of the golf course, and through the trails under the trees. The advanced group will ride the dark side of China Camp. Should be a good time!

Meet at:
**[MIWOK MEADOWS PARKING LOT](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Miwok+Meadows/@38.0050051,-122.4853987,17.71z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x8085990934094981:0x9d29f7713774b842!8m2!3d38.0049224!4d-122.4866415!5m1!1e4)**
CHINA CAMP STATE PARK
730 N. SAN PEDRO RD.
SAN RAFAEL CA 94901
GATECODE: 6032

We will gather at 9am in the Miwok Meadows parking lot and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am.

The Miwok Meadows parking lot is within the CHINA CAMP state park on N. San Pedro Rd. When coming from 101, driving East, pass by the China Camp Campground entrance and kiosk. Drive down less than half a mile and the Miwok Meadows entrance will be on your right. There is a sign marking the gate entrance. Turn in and take the gravel road down to the free parking lot--no need to park on N. San Pedro! (But you can park on the road and ride in if you want).

Join us for refreshments and snacks after the ride. As always a well-tuned mountain bike is a must!

* We offer rides for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from novice to advanced. As such we will separate into at least 3 levels of riders: The beginner group, group C, will ride around 9 miles and 800ft of elevation gain; The intermediate group, group B, will ride around 12 miles and 1100ft 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 trails made in the east bay, we help maintain trails within east bay parks (like Joaquin Miller and Crockett Hills) and we organize fun rides and events for the mountain bike community. Join us and help the cause!

* If you are only a BTCEB here on MeetUp member, then you aren't fully supporting our club. Take a moment and consider joining as a dues paying member to help in our quest to free the singletrack.

Gala Rides are free and open to the public and led by experienced local mountain bikers familiar with the trails.

**Supplementary ride medical coverage is provided to all paid BTCEB members**--one more reason to join!
