Official Ride information has been posted  최근 산행 안내 forum.  Please reply on that forum if you plan to attend.  Ride date has been set for September 20th.
============

Per request from some of BAC members, I would like to set up a beginning mountain biking class/ride in the month of September.  I am trying to avoid overlapping any BAC planned hiking dates, i.e. TRT on 9/12-9/14, and my previously committed dates.  It looks like either 9/6 or 9/20 works.  Can you let me know which date is preferred?  Once I have the date set, I will repost this in the right forum.

Meeting place:  Parking lot of Arastradero Preserve, 1530 Arastradero Rd, Palo Alto
Meeting time:  8:30am
Ride duration:  5 - 6 miles, should take 2 to 3 hours
