About us
The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay was formed in 1987, and helped to create the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) in 1988. The work of BTCEB is essential in developing the mountain biking culture and keeping trails open for local mountain biking. The BTCEB Meetup.com group was established by the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay (btceb.org). and is a tool for bringing us all, veteran and new riders, together for a great time. By joining BTCEB you'll be supporting grassroots mountain bike advocacy, meet other mountain bikers, and learn about great trails to ride.
STAY INFORMED with our monthly e-newsletter with all the latest events, trail work days, Youth Mountain Bike Adventure, Oakland Bike Patrol programs, social outings, and advocacy news.
VOLUNTEER FOR TRAIL WORK - it is sweat equity. Land managers appreciate reliable, competent volunteers.
COME OUT AND RIDE. We have a group ride calendar with over 5000 members and host several monthly rides. Our women-only ride, Ride Like a Girl, is on the 1st Saturday of the month. Our marquee ride is the monthly Gala Ride which is usually held the last Saturday of the month. The Gala rides are led by experienced local riders who know the trails and offer a group for all skill and fitness levels. Afterward, we regroup for snacks and refreshments. This is a great way to learn new trails and meet others from the east bay at your skill level.
E-BIKES are generally welcome on our Gala rides when the trail system allows them (e.g. EBRPD, China Camp, Tamarancho). If a ride is not open to e-bikes, it will usually be noted on the specific event listing but please know where you are allowed ride to be safe. Like acoustic riders, e-riders are expected to ride within their skill level and stay with their chosen group.
MEMBERSHIPS. We rely on PAID memberships to continue to advocate for and maintain trails and access issues that are important to you,
Happy Trails!
