Ride the Deer Creek Hills Preserve (Rancho Murietta)
Deer Creek Hills Preserve (map)
This is a ride thru the Sacramento Valley Conservancy. No cost. However you are required to pre-register and sign a waiver. All registrants will be emailed a link to fill out your skill level. Please ensure you pre-register at the sight in red below. A really fun ride with only a few climbs along rolling foothills. Groups for faster/more technical and for slower/less technical. NOT a beginner ride, but fine for a strong beginner. Hardtails are just fine on these trails. Meeting place is on Latrobe Rd. (near intersection of Stonehouse Rd.) where Latrobe turns to a dirt road. More details below:
Event: Mountain Biking
Start Date: Saturday, September 25, 2010
Time: 7:30am-10:00am
Location: Deer Creek Hills Preserve
You're invited to explore on your mountain bike the rolling savanna grasslands, dotted with dramatic blue oak and open vista at Deer Creek Hills.
Mountain Bike Docents will escort riders on 12 miles of significant climbing single track, cattle paths, and ranch roads. While this pasture land serves as a working cattle ranch during November through May, cattle have proven to be superb designers for single track trails!
This venue is simply great for experienced riders with knowledge of shifting to lower gears for climbing hills. This is not considered a beginners course.
All rides are no drop rides - no one will be left behind. Approximate ride time is 2 hours. Knobby tires are required for the terrain – no slick tires or road bikes allowed. Cyclists attending will be divided into groups depending upon experience with docent escorts. Bike helmets are required for all riders.
This is a FREE group ride. Please REGISTER HERE on-line to RSVP or contact Gina Silvernale @ 916/612-3719.

Hey, if anyone is NOT going to go, please let Blaine know...he signed up on Hammerin" Wheels, but the conservancy says that everyone had to be registered by Wednesday and then they fill the remaining spots. I wasn't aware that there was any cutoff date.

Well Javier, Blaine did not show up for the morning ride. He showed for the afternoon ride. So I guess it is a tie. :o)

AndreaThanks for posting this, Phred. I had a fun time on the ride and enjoyed the trails out there!

ColleenAs usual great supportive group. I would call it an easy ride, in spite of my huffing and puffing. Really interesting having the guides there pointing out native artifacts and giving an historical perspective.
