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

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

Sat, Jun 20, 3:30 PM
From Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay
4.8

For our women’s ride in June, we’re going to hit the fun, varied, and sometimes tricksy trails of Camp Tamarancho in the hills above Fairfax, CA. Join ride leader Rebecca Lewington 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. Don't forget to buy your trail pass [here](https://www.boyscouts-marin.org/event/2026-friends-of-tamarancho-trails-day-pass/3126836). We’ll probably have two groups. One will cover about 14 miles with about 2,100 feet of climbing. The other will add in the newish Caballo Rojo trail which adds about 3 miles and 500 feet of climb. Tamarancho has some tricky spots, so it's not recommended for inexperienced riders. Intermediate riders will be fine. As always, 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 stress-free 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 muscle-powered.) 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. We always hang out for a while after the ride, so bring along your favorite beverages and snacks if you feel like it. And a chair! 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. And please consider joining 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/](https://btceb.org/join-us/). If you have questions, ask 'em below and we’ll get right back to you.
