Ride Like a Girl – Women's MTB Ride – Tamarancho!

For the October version of our women’s ride series, we’re going to ride the fun and varied trails of Camp Tamarancho in the hills above Fairfax, CA.

Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington on Saturday, October 18th, 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 forget to buy your trail pass here.

We’ll probably have two groups. One will cover about 14 miles with about 2,100 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 need a ride, or want to set up a carpool, leave a comment and we'll see what the group can come up with.
