Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay

Join Jamuel, Adam, and the usual cast of characters on SATURDAY March 25th for the BTCEB Gala ride back at the rugged, pedalie Napa Skyline Wilderness Park! We had such a great time back in November that we thought we'd add Skyline into the regular rotation. Skyline Wilderness is a great spot to test your technical and aerobic skills, both climbing and descending over rocks, roots, and gnarly obstacles. But don't feel intimidated, there is a trail for every skill level at Napa Skyline. The soil here drains reasonably well, so as long as we haven't had a deluge 3 or 4 days before it'll likely be a park full of hero dirt.

Come join us for the fun!

BTCEB will be paying the entrance fee for ALL RIDERS who RSVP by Saturday the 24th at 9am.

So be sure to sign up (and also be sure to cancel if something comes up at the last minute).

Meet at:
Skyline Wilderness Park
Main Parking Lot
2201 Imola Ave
Napa, CA 94559

We will gather at 9am in the MAIN PARKING LOT and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am.

Skyline Wilderness Park is located in NAPA. The parking is free inside the lot, but it is limited. There is a park day use fee of $3 that you will need to cover if you have NOT RSVP'd. Carpooling is encouraged to make sure we have space for everyone.

Join us for refreshments, beer and snacks after the ride. A well-tuned mountain bike is a must!

We offer ride groups for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from novice to advanced. 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 feel reasonably comfortable riding 10-12 miles (including 1000ft of climbing) on hilly narrow singletrack for 2.5 hrs.

We will separate into 3 levels of riders: The beginner group, group C, will ride around 8-10 miles and 1000ft of elevation gain; The intermediate group, group B, will ride around 13 miles and 2000ft of elevation gain; the advanced group, group A, will ride around 16 miles and 3500 ft of elevation gain.

We might well post-pone if there is rain within a few days of the ride. If it's wet the week leading up to the ride, be sure to stay tuned to Meetup for any last minute changes.

As always BTCEB rides are free and open to the public and led by experienced local mountain bikers familiar with the trails. Medical coverage is provided to all paid BTCEB members. Yet one more reason to join. So go to our web site and JOIN TODAY!

PLEASE RSVP to join the ride.

The public is welcome to join us for our monthly Board and General Membership meeting. BTCEB is a very active organization with lots of interesting things happening. We meet online but encourage you to partake in dinner and drinks until we can safely meet at a restaurant again. Come just to listen, or to present your ideas or concerns.

Please RSVP so we know you are joining.

For the March version of our women’s ride series, we’re going to make another attempt to ride Camp Tamarancho in the scenic hills above Fairfax, CA.

Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on Saturday, April 15th, at 8:30am, at the Glen Drive Fire Road Trailhead, located, surprise surprise, at the end of Glen Drive at the North end of town. We’ll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll at 9:00 am. The post-ride hangout will be at the nearby Split Rock Tap & Wheel.

Don't for get to buy your trail pass here.

We’ll have two groups. One will cover about 12 miles with about 1,500 feet of climbing. The other will add in laps of the Endor Flow Trail. Each lap adds about 1.5 miles and 300 feet of climb. Two laps are recommended, but you can go until everyone has had enough!

Tamarancho has some tricky spots, so it's not recommended for inexperienced riders. Intermediate riders will be fine.

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/.

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