Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
Please join me for a fun mountain bike ride at Black Diamond Open Space (BDOS) and Henry's Ridge, where we'll ride on some of the awesome mountain biking trails in the area. We'll leave from the parking lot and ride the beginner (signage marked as green) and intermediate (signage marked as blue) trails. We'll ride the minimum of 10 miles; more than 10 miles is great if the majority is having fun, and you would like to ride your mountain bike more.
All riders are welcome; however, please take note that we will be riding in dirt over various terrain and obstacles; this ride is a steady-effort level, and we will re-group at the end of each trail ridden and major intersections so that no one gets lost. The trails are designed for the rider who is comfortable with various terrain and obstacles and riding independently. We stress safe and cooperative riding. A good quality mountain bike that is in good condition with at least a front suspension (referred to as hardtail) is required; a mountain bike with front and back suspension (referred to as full suspension) is better. Please bring enough food and water (hydration pack or two water bottles) to be energized for this ride, since there are no services or water sources on the route or nearby. Also, knee/shin guards are highly recommended and are not required for this mountain bike ride.
Riders should bring a spare tube, tools and the know-how to fix a flat. Please arrive at the start by 8:45 am for the safety briefing so we can roll promptly at 9:00 am. Portable potty is located by the parking lot.
The ride leader will not be at the ride start should inclement weather meets the definition for cancellation (steady rain also applies to inclement weather conditions); in addition, unsafe trail and windy conditions will cancel the ride. Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start. If you have questions about the weather and/or trail conditions, please call 818-590-8167, preferably before you leave for the ride.
