The Bay Ride

## **How It All Started** In 2014, three friends had a crazy idea: bike around the entire Bay Area. What started with 3 riders has grown to 1,000 participants annually. ## **The Adventure** Not for the faint of heart! Ride 135 miles around the beautiful San Francisco Bay, while raising money to improve local cycling infrastructure. 65% of “first timers” set a Distance PR (shorter 35-mile route also available). "*You are capable of more than you believe."* We've sold out every year for 11 years in a row—spots are limited! For more info and to register, visit - [The Bay Ride](https://www.thebayride.com/).

Ride Like a Girl - Women's MTB Ride - Joaquin Miller

Want to have fun, learn new trails and meet other women (cis, trans and femme) who love to mountain bike? You're in the right place! For the August edition of BTCEB's women's ride series, we're going to hit the nifty singletrack of Joaquin Miller Park and then we have a special treat: fearless ride leader Heather lives just down the hill from Joaquin Miller and we're all invited over for a potluck! Bring something to share and your favorite beverage, and come and hang with us. Message us if you need to drop something at Heather's house ahead of the ride. But before that, we ride. Join leaders Rebecca and Heather at 8:30am at the Elephant Barn parking lot in Joaquin Miller Park, 3594 Sanborn Drive, Oakland, CA 94602. We'll gather up for a quick huddle to talk about the ride at about 8:45, and roll by 9:00 am. To get to the parking lot, head up Joaquin Miller Rd to the park entrance and turn into the park on Sanborn Dr. Go just past the community center/ranger station lot and make the next left. We'll split into two groups. The Teal group will cover about 12 miles with 1,700 feet of climbing. The Denim group will be a bit more challenging, covering about 16 miles with 2,500 feet of climbing. Note that some of these trails aren't suitable for beginners. Intermediate and up will have a great time. 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.)
