About this Event
Join Docent Naturalists Dave Kocsis, Steve Crawford, An Scharlaken, and Peter Maxwell for an advanced mountain bike ride on fun trails with outstanding views in memory of our friend and Midpen Docent Naturalist Strether Smith. You’ll carpool from Picchetti Ranch Preserve to the beautiful Waterwheel Creek Trail and ride the single track and fire roads in Monte Bello Preserve, including Bella Vista, Canyon, White Oak, and Skid Road trails, before taking Stevens Canyon Road back to the carpool location. The mostly downhill route (2,200-foot net descent) includes 1,700+ feet of climbing. Approximately five miles of the ride is on public roadways. Bring snacks or a light lunch to eat at breaks along the way. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after May 3 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close May 15 at 2:00 p.m.
