Join Docent Naturalists An Scharlaken, Steve Crawford, Roger Wigenstam, and Casey Litton for an exhilarating and aerobic mountain bike ride through towering redwoods and a rugged landscape. This adventure is designed for experienced mountain bikers looking to explore the region's dynamic trails while learning about the history and ecology of the area, including the legacy of logging. You’ll start on the Oljon and Blue Blossom trails, then climb Crossover, Timberview, Methuselah, and Fir before the final descent on the Sierra Morena Trail. Participants must be experienced and able to ride steep, narrow, and at times rough single-track trails with an elevation gain of 1,600+ feet. Bring a lunch if you want to stay and eat after the ride. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after April 19 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close May 2 at 2:00 p.m.
Meet at the El Corte de Madera Parking Area located on the west side of Highway 35 (Skyline Boulevard), about 1- mile south of the Caltrans Skeggs Point parking area and 2.7 miles north of the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 84.
