2009 Six-Day East Bay Hills Trails Ride
Wednesday September 02 08:00 AM
2009 Ride or Hike in the East Bay Hills, Wednesday
through Monday.
Ride Labor Day week with members of the
Tilden-Wildcat Horsemen’s Association and the
Metropolitan Horsemen’s Association. Ride up to
100 miles in 6 days, or 14-18 miles each day in small
groups at your own pace. Join us for any or all of
the 6 days. The ride will follow or parallel the San
Francisco Bay Area Ridge Trail as we spend 2 days
riding from 3 different campsites. This year’s
ride will be held in conjunction with the second
annual 5-day Ridge Trail Through-Hike from Castro
Valley to Martinez.
Camp opens at Bort Meadow in Anthony Chabot Regional Park Tuesday the day before the ride starts. On Wednesday enjoy sweeping Bay Area views, single track trails, and the clear waters of Lake Chabot. On Thursday a short Chabot loop will precede the ride through Chabot and Redwood to Joaquin Miller Park, where we will camp Thursday and Friday night at Sequoia Arena. Friday’s itinerary will include loops in Redwood and Joaquin Miller Parks. On Saturday we follow the Ridge Trail through Redwood, Huckleberry and Sibley Regional Preserves and EBMUD Watershed to camp in Tilden Park, where we will camp on Saturday and Sunday nights. Sunday’s ride will mostly be in Wildcat Park and Labor Day will feature a shorter ride in Tilden.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided for riders and campers, and hay, carrots and water for the horses. Swimming and showers will be available 5 minutes from our Tilden and Sequoia Arena campsites. Evening programs will include a visit to the Chabot Space Observatory (5 minutes from Sequoia Arena), a slide show on long distance trail adventures, a presentation by a naturalist, and other surprises.
