Name: November Gala Ride at Napa Skyline Wilderness Park (Sat 11/29)
Start: 2025-11-29T09:00:00-08:00
End: 2025-11-29T12:00:00-08:00
Location: Napa Skyline Park

No trick--all treat! Join the Bicycle Trails Council **SATURDAY NOVEMBER 29TH** for the next installment of our 2025 Gala Ride Series at the rugged, oft pedalie **Napa Skyline Wilderness Park!**

Skyline Wilderness is a great park 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](https://www.meetup.com/bicycletrailscouncil/events/311280090/) by FRIDAY the 28th at 9am.**

**BTCEB is shifting to online waivers for our rides. For those that RSVP please fill out the wavier [here](https://esign.ottersign.com/p/bicycle-trails-council-of-the-east-bay/bWoEwRZeah) and save some time.**

Please

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** (not the lot near the college) and hit the trails promptly at 9:30am.

Skyline Wilderness Park is located in NAPA. The parking is free inside the lot for BTCEB riders, 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.

In case you don't know here's how a Gala ride works:

* **GATHER AT 9AM** in the trailhead parking lot and check-in
* **HIT THE TRAILS at 9:30AM**
* **POST-RIDE** join us for refreshments, beers, and snacks.
* A well-tuned mountain bike is always a must!
* We offer rides for ALL SKILL LEVELS, from novice to advanced. As so we will separate into 3 levels of riders: The beginner group, group C, will ride around 10 miles and 860ft of elevation gain; The intermediate group, group B, will ride around 12 miles and 1400ft of elevation gain; the advanced group, group A, will ride around 15+ miles and 2000+ 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)** mission is to educate cyclists in responsible mountain biking, to advocate for appropriate access and to promote community among trail users so all may fully enjoy and preserve the natural spaces of the East Bay. Membership provides funding for our programs and gives us more influence with land managers in getting more access to more places. 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 even Fernandez Ranch!) and we organize fun rides and events for the mountain bike community. Join us and help the cause!

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 our club!
