Meet at:
The DEER PARK PARKING AREA & TRAILHEAD

We will gather at 9am at the Deer Park Trailhead by the restrooms and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am.

The Deer Park Trailhead is in Mt. Tam watershed, at the end of Porteous Rd and Deer Park Fire Rd. The parking is free inside the lots, but it is limited. If the lot is full, there is street parking on Porteous ave and Meernaa ave. 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 intermediate 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 be able to ride 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 12 miles and 1400ft of elevation gain; The intermediate group, group B, will ride around 14 miles and 1600ft of elevation gain; the advanced group, group A, will ride around 15+ miles and 2000+ ft of elevation gain.

We will post-pone if there is rain the day of or before.

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, one more reason to join. So go to our web site, http://www.bicycletrailscouncil.org/ and hit the JOIN TODAY button. We take PayPal.
