Pleasanton Ridge (Intermediate / 15 miles / ~3000 ft / C+ pace)

Join me at Pleasanton Ridge for its steep, lung-busting climbs that lead to emerald green ridgelines with panoramic views and fun-and-technical singletracks.

Meet at Longview Drive. Street parking available. around 9:20. Wheels roll at 9:30.

Route: Bayleaf N -> Valle vista -> Bayleaf S -> Augustine Bernal DH. We can adjust the route based on the group and trail conditions. Expect around 15mi ride with 3000ft elevation gain.

Difficulty: Intermediate. Expect steep narrow trails on rough surfaces, with tight switchbacks at places.

Pace: C+. We start and end together and regroup at every intersection (there are a ton of them!). I'll be riding an eMTB with analog-friendly pace. There are numerous very tough fireroad climbs. EMTB recommended.

Bring:
- Lots of water. There is not much shade during the entire ride :(
- Helmet
- Water and snacks
- Trail-side repair tools
- A well-maintained bike.

Guest riders are not allowed, this ride is for WCMB members. If you have a guest, please have them join. Liability etc. Thank you.

NOW THE NITTY GRITTY...
