Important Reminders:
As of 3/20/22, we follow CA state guidance for large events: All riders and volunteers must register and must present either proof of up-to-date Covid-19 vaccinations (digital or CDC record) or proof of a negative test result to participate in our rides. Important: What is acceptable as proof? PCR/molecular tests must be taken within 48 hours and antigen tests (rapid tests) must be taken within 24 hours of the ride. Records must have your name and test/vaccine date so they can be paired with your registration. You can find free professional testing near you using the CA testing site locator.
Safety first: Come prepared with a mountain bike in good working order, helmet, eye protection, water, sunscreen, gloves and long sleeves/long socks to protect against poison oak. Be prepared: Read What to expect
