Rockville Adventures (ADVANCED / 11 miles / 1300 ft / C pace)

Get ready to rock and roll at Rockville Hills! We are rocking out on some of the rockiest singletrack in the Bay Area, weaving through rock gardens, rock slabs, and technical rock features that will put your rock-crawling skills to the test. If you love getting your rocks off on chunky, rock-solid terrain and rocking through endless rock puzzles, this rock-star ride is going to rock your world!

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

• Wet Trail Conditions. We are threading a needle between rains. Rockville tends to dry very fast, but some sections could still be slick and wet. I'll call park rangers on Saturday morning to make sure the park stays open, so watch my messages on Meetup.
• Rocks Everywhere. As the name suggests, Rockville is significantly rockier than most spots in the Bay Area. You must be comfortable humping and pumping over rocks to enjoy this ride!

The Logistics

• Meet: Parking Lot
• Roll: 10:00 AM Sharp
• Parking: Small parking lot with street parking
• Fee: $5 park entrance fee required regardless of where you park.
• Restroom: Available after the first climb

The Route

• Multiple short loops in any order: Mystic -> Coyote -> Arch, Rockgarden, Outside, Unknown, Upper/Lower Tilley

Difficulty & Pace

• Skill: Advanced. Trails are not overly steep and everything can be walked, but you must be very comfortable navigating technical rock gardens to enjoy this ride.
• Fitness: Intermediate+. Despite the shorter distance and lower elevation gain, powering through chunky rock gardens requires constant short bursts of energy and tires you out quickly.
• Pace: C (Social). Relaxed and social. We will regroup at every intersection, keep the climbs easy, and stop to session interesting rock features.

What to Bring

• Steed: A well-maintained mountain bike.
• Fee for the park entrance
• Protection: Helmet, knee/elbow pads highly recommended.
• Essentials: Water, snacks, and trailside repair tools.
