k a h e a dUpcoming Rides and Events

April: The season, which has been here all year, really

gets going this month. From road rides like Eroica

Calfornia ride (more on that below) to the start of the

Sierra Cup Mountain Bike Race Series, you can count

on a ride or race every Saturday and Sunday, all month

long. You can also count on the Cycle California! calen-dar having many of these events. Check out page 14.

Heroic weekend This month there are several multi-day events and on

the weekend of April 8-10, Eroica California is one.

Rolling away from Paso Robles, Eroica riders can enjoy one of

four routes: 38, 65, 85, 120 miles around the hilly country of

the Central Coast. This event gives riders the opportunity to

enjoy a weekend of cycling entertainment, ocean views during

the rides, and a vintage bike Concource d’Elegance.

Soaring raptorsThat same weekend on April 9, the Red Hawk Ride rolls out of

Redding for rides of 6, 18, 38, and 64 miles. This is a relatively

at ride that takes bicyclists around the campus and into the

country — a great tune-up ride for the epic rides due up late

this year. The spring offers really nice weather along the Sacr

mento River: It’s not too hot and the hills still have some gr

to them. The Red Hawk Ride raises money for scholarships

students attending Simpson University.

Singletrack running If soaring with the hawks seems too high, you can opt

instead to run with the pigs at the April 9 Mt. Tam Wild B

Half Marathon. This also has a 10K component if you’re n

feeling the half marathon distance. From Rock Springs, pa

ticipants run a combination of paved roadways and the rol

dirt singletrack trails of Mt. Tam. The course offers views

Bolinas Lagoon, the Pacific Ocean and Marin County wat

shed. This event takes place at Mt. Tamalpais State Park.

Classic dirt raceApril is also the month in which the mountain bike racing t

off: On April 10 the 23rd edition of the Napa Valley Dirt Clas

the seasoned cyclist. Beginning at the

Amador County Fairgrounds in Plymouth,

the routes are 41, 65, 69, 102, and 122

miles. All of these have elevation gain.

There is also a new shorter ride this

year: the Amador Wine Country Tour,an 18-22 mile ride with 1,000-1,300

feet of climbing. This one takes cyclists

on a route that visits the wineries in the

Shenandoah Valley. Expect beautiful

and sometimes challenging riding through

the Amador and El Dorado wine country

and historic Gold Rush towns.

More off-road racing On April 23, Grass Valley hosts the rst

race in the Sierra Cup regional championship

series. This USA Cycling-sanctioned series

begins with a multi-loop cross-country race

on private property. Participants race a 4 mile

mostly singletrack loop under the trees.

All the series events that take place before

July will be qualiers for Mountain Bike

Nationals at Mammoth.

Santa Cruz pioneer rideOn April 23 the ride named after the

legendary Mountain Charlie rolls away from

Skypark in Scott’s Valley. The Mountain

Charlie Challenge is made up of 10 mile,

100 kilometer, and 100 mile rides through

the Santa Cruz Mountains. The high point

(literally) of the experience is a grind up

steep Mountain Charlie. The after-ride

party has music, food, an expo with artists

and sponsor booths, and family activities.

Classic spring ridesEurope has Spring Classics races and

on April 24, BICYCLING offers its

Spring Classic bike ride (although unl

the Euro events, this one isn’t a race).

These rides explore the roads of south

Santa Clara County. For your participa

tion, there are 25, 60, and 90 mile rou

along on the same scenic climbs and dscents that Specialized uses as its provi

grounds for its bikes and equipment. Y

fee includes the riding, chip timing (wi

prizes for ve fastest climbers on the l

route); and a post-ride party with lunch

family activities, expo, and more.

From the Great NorthwesOur peeps from Salem, Oregon, c

Metric Century. This 62 mile ride st

at the State Capitol Mall in Salem an

takes riders over back roads to Champ

State Park and back to Salem.

Early harvest This year the Healdsburg Harvest

Bicycle Tour has made the leap from its

traditional July date to April 30. This tour

takes off from the Healdsburg Community

Center for 20, 40, and 60 miles throughSonoma’s rolling and hilly Wine Country.

Riders experience the valleys: Alexander,

Dry Creek, and Russian River.

Classic MotherlodeAlso on April 30, another classic, the

Motherlode Century Spring Classic rolls

away from Coloma in the El Dorado Gold

Country for rides through ranch, forest,

farms, and vineyards. The longer rides are

66, 82, and 95 miles through a canyon with

two climbs and awe-inspiring scenery.

The short, 35 mile route has rollers to keep

the novice rider happy. All rides have well-

stocked aid stations, and delicious riverside

dinner with live music. Post-ride, soak in the

cool river, enjoy a hot shower, massage, or

sample the craft beers and local wines.

Tours for DiabetesMay 1 that other Wine Country show-

cases the Tour de Cure Napa Valley Wine

Country. The rides, which start from the

Veterans Home in Yountville, have some-

thing for every level of rider: From a

10 mile easy ride along residential and

rural backroads; a 25 mile at ride through

the heart of Napa Valley; a 50 mile ride

along the Silverado Trail to Calistoga; an

80 mile ride that follows Highways 29/128

into the Alexander Valley with some hill

climbing. The longest ride, a 100 miler

continues past Healdsburg almost to 101

and Russian River.

Racing through meadows of wildow

is the hallmark of the Kirkwood Moun

Classic. This year’s race is on July and is a fundraiser for the Tahoe A

JULY 16:50K, 100K,OR RELAY

LT100 MTB QUALIFIER

Did you ever see something you wanted

so badly that you had to conceive a lifestyle

change to justify getting it? So it was when

I rst saw a fat bike. Those fat, soft tires

looked like they could roll over anything

a Mad Max rider could point them at.

Trails? Fat bikes scoff at trails.

Anyway, my fantasies were overblown,

lurid, and incessant, so I needed a purpose

for getting one. It wasn’t going to be snow

riding because, let’s face it, brrr. And it wasn’t

going to be beach riding, because no matter

how tough the bike, the idea of riding in

salt spray and using a knobby tire to churnsand onto the bike’s drivetrain seems like

an indignity to heap on a machine. It had

to involve exploring areas out of reach

of a conventional mountain bike without

damaging habitat, running afoul of park

managers, or just annoying foot- or hoof-

bound brethren.

That’s when it hit me: In year four of a

drought, where is there abundant public dirt?

Where else but on the erstwhile reservoir

bottoms, now deserts of rocks, stumps, and

sand, planed free of anything green by the

wide seasonal uctuations in water level?

Who knows, maybe I’d even nd lost cities

or detective badges and rearms or cars or

bodies or other weird artifacts such as found

earlier in this drought. All in former habitatof shes and well below the sometime-

haunts of jet skiers and house boaters.

With the lifestyle image in place, I

plied my wife with so-called reasonin

for a new acquisition. With good-natur

disbelief she conceded to another bik

cluttering the garage. “If you don’t use

you sell it, agreed?”

I could face that negotiation if it eve

came up.

So I bought the bike and started roll

I headed out to the local greenbelt to prac

a few trips down (and partway up) som

gentle stairs and through faux ravines la

scaped with baby head cobbles. I ran th

inch wide tires as soft as 6 pounds per sq

inch (psi) but settled on about 10 psi acompromise between soft rock-wrappi

traction and at least some protection agai

rim ats. It was time to go for a real rid

Proof of Concept:

The Shores of ShastaLake Shasta in summer is a swelter-

ing solar cooker with a lake surface for a

reector. When I arrived at Centimudi

boat ramp on a July afternoon my car

seat was soaked in sweat and the rst of

my water bottles was down to the sloshy

dregs. I should have thrown a teabag in

the other one to mask the inimitable avor

of warm plastic.

The hills around the lake were densely

covered in manzanita and gray pines

above the “full” water line, but belowthat was nothing but red earth and blocky

chunks of rocks temporarily arrested in

their slide into the bottom of the reservoir.

They looked like so many

boxy cheese graters just wait-

ing for the fresh flesh of an

unwary biker.

From above I could see the

terraces, like tree rings, or,

more appropriately, the very

topographic contours they were,

showing former shorelines

carved by waves and boat wakes

as the water level dropped and

held and dropped some more

through weeks, months, and now

years of drought. All I had to dowas get down to one and start

Advocacy groups are created out of a

need for something to happen. A need for

positive change. A need to shake up the

status quo. That was certainly the case in

1987, when the East Bay mountain biking

community was threatened with being

locked out of the trails of the popular

urban open space, Oakland’s Joaquin

Miller Park. In response, the Bicycle

Trails Council of the East Bay (BTC-

EB) was created, said the group’s current

president Mike Udkow.

The group was one of ve chartermembers of the international organiza-

tion called International Mountain Bike

Association (IMBA). “The Bicycle Trails

Council is now one of the oldest mountain

bike advocacy groups in the U.S.,” said

Udkow. The other four groups were

Responsible Organized Mountain Pedal-

ers (ROMP), now known as Silicon Valley

Mountain Bikers, Concerned Off Road

Bicyclists Association (CORBA), Bicycle

Trails Council Marin (now a part of Marin

County Bicycle Coalition), and Sacramento

Rough Riders.

The BTC-EB has been very busy in the

intervening 29 years solidifying its reputa-

tion as an organization that advocates foropen access to trails, that works to help

land managers maintain trails, educates

the public through a trail-side bike patrol

program, and offers monthly bike ride

anyone who wants to participate.

Since the group’s founding, it has b

a proactive force in encouraging low-im

pact, environmentally friendly riding

just as important, cooperation between

different trail user groups. “We advoc

for where we like to ride,” Udkow sai

Stewardship of the East Bay’s trai

mountain bike patrol program. These

volunteers partner with the Oakland Police

Department to help trail users learn proper

trail etiquette, safety rules, and regula-

tions.

BTC-EB, in addition to working on

trails and patroling Joaquin Miller Park,

offers monthly rides not only for their

members, but for anyone wishing to get

out on the trails with a group.

One of these events, the Gala Ride,

is a no-drop event that takes place at a

different park on the second Saturday ofthe month. The group welcomes novice

and advanced trail riders to come out and

learn about the riding.

Depending the size of the group it will

split into smaller groups with their own

leaders, said Udkow.

They also offer regular night rides and a

family ride on Alameda. It’s pretty safe to

say there’s something for everyone.

BTC-EB volunteers also take under-

priviledged kids out to Point Pinole for

monthly rides. The children are lent bikes

and treated to post-ride snacks and cam-

eradie in addition to the outdoor activity.

For four years running, BTC-EB has

sponsored a movie night in which it pre-

miers something new. This year’s feature

was Inspired to Ride and was double-

billed with a short movie about Joaquin

Miller Park. Udkow was pleased with this

year’s showing, “We sold the more ticketsthan we ever have before, although it was

a road riding movie!”

Reservoirs, from page 9 pedaling this all-terrain sidewalk along the

reservoir.

On the descent to my chosen terrace,

I quickly found that my seat was too

high, and because of the bolts on my seat

tube-mounted water bottle cage, the seatcouldn’t go low enough to shake a feeling

that I was perpetually about to nose dive

over the bars and into that sharp-edged

rock jumble. I wound up walking the bike

or pogoing one leg as I slid astride the bike

down to the apparent terrace. Here I discov-

ered that the fat, high-inertia tires have

some pluses and minuses. Yes, they rolled

over all matter of glop and clatter, but they

were not very sensitive to precise instruc-

tions as to where this beast-cycle should go.

The bike lumbered in the general direction

I pointed it, mostly doing just ne in the

landscape of sand and brick- to shoebox-

sized rock, but what if, say, I really didn’t

want to oat over the rock on the edge of

this wisp of a terrace in case it would slide

and carry me into the drink? On this rst

trip I was never quite sure the bike was

going to oblige.It was a short trip and I had a case of the

cumulative willies after the ride. But as

soon as I was driving away, I wanted to be

out there again pedaling abby donuts of

traction into the unknown.

Next up: Lake OrovilleStanding on Oroville Dam a month

later, sweltering again, I was disgusted.

I couldn’t ride this. The inner face of

the dam was covered with rock rip-rap.

The chunks ranged in size from refrigerator

to ice chest. Even the naked shoreline at

both anks of the dam was just too steep,

like Shasta without the terraces. So I

drove to the nearby visitor center, wh

happened to be along a shoreline tha

appeared less steep on my topograph

map. The attendant told me yes, it w

okay to ride a bike below the shoreliHe also looked at me like perhaps m

reservoir wasn’t all the way full eith

Happily, there were bike-legal trai

from the visitor center to and along t

shoreline, and soon I was dropping o

from under an oak tree onto the one-tim

lakebed. On this mid-drought August d

the water was about 220 vertical fee

below the maximum full line, exposin

sloping shoreline 800 feet or more wid

The upper part of this shoreline had

been barren for so long that there was

over this amidst small rocks interspers

with the occasional stump or skeletal

remnants of a tree or shrub drowned with

the rst lling of the reservoir. Soon I was

below the grass and rolling on a thin layer

of sediment out to a point in the lake that

would have been an island earlier in theyear or bass habitat in a normal year.

On the back side of the point the aking

bedrock was exposed, and the challenge

was to ride as far as I could without dabbing

a foot down when the boulders got too big

or inopportunely strewn. In that skill-

building fashion, I continued south to the

boat ramp, past a grid of boats at anchor

in the shrinking lake, hunting stretches of

level terrace and the smallest connecting

boulder gardens I could traverse. From the

boat ramp it was a short ascent to the swift

and rolling trail through gray pines and

oaks that nished about a ve-mile loop

back to the visitor center.

I was as happy as could be this side of a

half-gallon frosted drink.

At last: Folsom Lake

Of these three reservoirs, Folsom has theshallowest slopes and thus the easiest

potential riding. In September 2015 it was

just months from hitting its record low since

rst lling in the 1950s, exposing broad

swaths of sandy lake bottom – more than

half of its nearly 18-square mile full surface

area – that was eminently (fat) bikeable.

Acres of mud near the receding lake shore

created a new otation/traction challenge.

And by challenge, I mean I got mired

by getting too close to the soggy soils at

water’s edge and had to push my way out

through muck over my ankles. Away from

the goop, sandy ats made for fast, swoopy

riding until they curved into sandy slop

where power and torque control were v

to avoid spinning out. Turning the front

wheel too much was a sure way to plow

a berm of sand and stop abruptly. Close

the upstream end of the lake, steeper teexposed rocks galore for challenges sim

to those I encountered at Lake Oroville

Shasta. Much of this shoreline had been

traversed by vehicles, but there was ple

of exploring to be done out of the reach

of the motorized set. There was way mo

land than I could explore in the time I h

so I’ll be back.
