9:00 am - Lake Chabot Mountain Bike Ride

  • 29 Jun 2014
  • 9:00 AM
  • EBRP office at Lake Chabot, Castro Valley
SUN 6/29/14 MTB-3 17 miles 9:00 a.m.

Starting at the parking lot of the Nike Training classrooms adjacent to the East Bay Regional Parks headquarters at Lake Chabot we'll ride on a variety of trails and roads mainly on the north side of the lake.
 
Take I-580 west from the Dublin area and exit at the Strobridge Avenue exit in Castro Valley.  Turn right at the bottom of the ramp (Stanton Avenue) and right again on Castro Valley Boulevard.  At the next stop light, Lake Chabot Road, make a left turn.  Travel about 1.6 miles and look for a small road going to the right, just past Arcadian Drive.  This signed road leads to the East Bay Regional Parks Headquarters.  The parking area is on the left right across from the headquarters facility, in front of the Nike Training Center.
 
This ride will be on fairly well groomed trails.  However, there are some decent climbs and descents and some mountain biking skills are recommended. Expect about 2,000 feet of climbing. There will be a mixture of fire roads, single track and a short jog on paved Redwood Road to link us with Soaring Hawk Trail.  This route will avoid the high foot-traffic trails on the south side of the Lake.
 
A route sheet and GPS link will be posted on the Valley Spokesmen's web-site prior to the ride.  Excessively muddy conditions or rain will cancel.  Such cancellation, if necessary, will be posted.
