Explore the shaded forests and challenging single-track trails of this rugged Preserve on your mountain bike with docent Dave Kocsis. This intermediate/advanced level ride drops steeply from Skyline Boulevard through mixed evergreen and redwood forests to El Corte de Madera Creek, 800 feet below, then climbs back to a vista point with a sweeping view of the Pacific before returning to your starting point. The total distance will be about 10 miles with more than 2,000 feet of climbing. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after March 28.

Intermediate Mountain Bike Ride: Intended for participants with dirt single-track riding experience; able to climb and descend steep and moderately-rough trails. Recreational ride at a moderate/brisk pace, 8+ miles on a wide range of fire roads and single-track trails. For experienced riders in very good physical condition with good endurance.

For this activity at El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve, meet at Skeggs Point, a Caltrans vista point on the east side of Skyline Boulevard, about 4 miles north of La Honda Road (Highway 84) and 1.5 miles south of Kings Mountain Road. Please note that Caltrans prohibits a left turn into the lot when approaching from the north along Skyline Blvd.

Preregistration is required. Find out more at the MROSD page for this event.
