Mountain Biking - Lake Chabot
⚠️All ride participants (members and non-members) must register online and agree to the liability waiver.⚠️
RIDE DETAILS
This ride explores the hills and forest of Lake Chabot's northern and campground areas with views of the lake and the bay. The ride is intended for beginning or intermediate mountain bikers or intermediate to advanced gravel riders. We will ride on hard packed, double track dirt or gravel roads, with two moderate single track options for those that want to challenge themselves. While this route is not technical, it is challenging with steep climbs and steep descents. Good gearing, strong legs or E-bike assist(no throttle e-bikes) are recommended. We will have multiple rest stops and bathroom breaks. Bring snacks and water (there are a few refill fountains along the route).
E-mountain or gravel bikes are welcome, but must be PEDAL ASSIST - NO THROTTLE!
You don't need to be a member to ride with us, but everyone must register! And when you do ride with us more than three or four times, we ask that you show your appreciation and support by joining the Club! :-)
