Bay Trail, Grizzly Peak, or Inspiration Point Morning Ride
A short, beginner-friendly, easy-paced ride, usually with great views. Time TBD. Email Adriana at avalenc@berkeley.edu if you are interested.
Tuesday 3PM RWT – Beginner/intermediate mountain bike skills ride at Pleasanton BMX park
Want to flow on the trail next year? Too often our trail rides focus on mileage and survival, and our races even more so. Here is a chance to improve your skills by approaching different trail features separately, with as much repetition as you need to get a new move dialed. Park includes berms, rollers, tabletop jumps, and double jumps of various sizes. Numerous lines for variety and flow. Nice fire roads through the Shadow Cliffs for warm-up and cool-down. Matt B. will drive. ~1 hr transit, back in Berkeley by 7PM latest.
Please bring: helmet (open or full-face OK, whatever will increase your comfort), knee or elbow pads if you like. Park is free and has running water and bathroom.
RSVP to mfboser@gmail.com by Tuesday noon for spot in car.
*Matt is a total pro at all things flow! Make it out to this ride!
