Rancho Penasquitos Beginner Ride

About this event

Welcome to the Beginner Ride at Rancho Penasquitos! This group is geared towards new riders who want to learn to be comfortable on their bikes on dirt trails.

All participants need to complete the SDMBA waiver at least once every 6 months . If you do not complete the waiver, you may not ride with us. You can find it here: SDMBA Waiver

This is a no-drop (meaning we won't leave anyone behind), beginner paced ride around the trails of Rancho Penasquitos Canyon Preserve and its nearby surrounds. The average ride is between 5-8 miles with varying elevation, but intended to be suitable for new riders. There will be frequent stops to regroup and work on skills.

On this ride, we will ride to the waterfall and back, with an option for more riding if there is time and interest.

You must wear your helmet while riding a bike on this ride. Be sure to bring water to stay hydrated. Snacks are optional, but a good idea.

We will meet at the parking lot near the Ranch House: 12122 Canyonside Park Driveway, San Diego, CA 92129. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mountain biking can be a dangerous sport, and learning new skills can be challenging. Always wear a helmet, bring plenty of water and if any part of the trail is above your ability and/or comfort zone it is okay to walk it. The ride is led by Liz Robertson.
