Next rides & meetings
More than a bike ride
Outside, every week
Three hours on Saturday in the redwoods of Joaquin Miller Park, plus after-school rides once the season starts.
Real skills, safely
NICA-licensed coaches teach braking, climbing, cornering, trail etiquette and fixing a flat. Riders are grouped by ability, so nobody gets left behind.
Confidence and friends
Kids from public and private schools all over Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley and Orinda ride together and cheer each other on.
Adventure rides
Monthly trips to trails like China Camp, Rockville and Santa Cruz, ending the season at Tamarancho in Fairfax.
Racing if they want it
Five optional NorCal League races, including the championship, with an untimed fun category for first-timers. Many families camp together at the venue.
A sport for life
Our riders go on to high school teams like Oakland Tech, Skyline, Berkeley High, Piedmont and Oakland Composite.
Girls ride here
GRiT rides are for girls and female-identifying riders, with women coaches. The next one is Saturday, November 14, 10 am–1 pm at Joaquin Miller Park.
