Granite Bay Mountain Bike Adventure: Saturday, Feb 26th, a group of NiteDawgs are going up to Granite Bay State Park (about 25 miles east of Sacramento on I-80) to ride some awesome single track. (The NiteDawgs are a group of mountain bikers that meet every Thursday night beginning at 6:15pm at Lake Chabot, Castro Valley, to do the 13+ mile mountain bike loop and a post-ride BBQ)
This is fast smooth single track and low technical requirements. The first loop (6.5 miles and 800 ft elevation change) will be a group ride and no-one gets left behind. The second and subsequent loops will be at your own pace. We’ll picnic in the parking lot afterwards. If you are interested in participating , please let Trace Brazil (510-584-8924) know so he can coordinate car pools and who’s attending. More information can be found here: http://www.tbfracing.com/
