We rode the cross-country / multi-use trails at Herrington Manor State Park in Oakland! There is no separate cost for park (or party) admission on the day of the ride.

Course Description

If we have enough snow, the trail will be groomed for fat bikes – note tires must be 3.8″ to be considered “fat”

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • If your time is important to you, we will have timing available. Make sure you get to the front of the start line if you’re doing this for time.
  • We’ll have some awards for top finishers.
  • Since the rides are relatively short, you’ll be responsible for any food or drink while on the course. We’ll have some water and snacks available before and after.
  • We encourage everyone to come out and ride! This is just a fun time to get more people out on bikes! Give it a go!
  • “Snow or no, we’ll go!” We will ride if there is snow or not… we’ll make a decision closer to the ride date if it’s dicey.
  • Speaking of weather (or any other circumstances) there are no refunds. No matter what.
