Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking with BAS means year-round riding from beginner to advanced with great people! The majority of our rides are focused on intermediate trails. Monthly rides are planned on some of the best trails in NorCal from the local trails to the Sierras and the Coast. We also offer destination trips to  destinations for epic riding,  scenery, and  fun to places like Sedona AZ, Bend OR, Moab UT, Galbraith WA. Our rides are lead with a no pressure pace to insure everyone rides safe and has a good time!

Be sure to check out the ride descriptions at the event link so know what to expect and even how to rate your skill level. You must have your own mountain bike (which must be in great condition), helmet, health insurance (BAS does not cover you), and provide your own transportation to/from the ride, and be able to ride at a safe level. If you have questions please contact us.

BAS Ride Overview
​

Our ride rating is based on both the trail rating and physical fitness required.  With any sport the better your fitness level the more you will enjoy the outing.
Our rides are usually of a length to make them a full day activity.  Plan on a minimum of a couple of hours on the trail plus travel time.
Your bike must be mechanically sound.  It should be fitted to you and capable of handling the trails.  Working brakes and shifters are a must.  You will be expected to be able to fix your own flat tires. Most rides are intended for full (front and rear) suspension mountain bikes.  
Helmets are required. Other protective gear is up to the individual.  
Water is a must, all year round.  
Other things you should consider carrying on the ride: First aid supplies, bike tools, spare tube or repair kit, master chain link, pump, food, toilet paper.  Please do not expect your ride leaders to support you with these items. We try to have them on hand but as a backup only.

Trail Rating
We use the app’s Trailforks and MTB Project for our trail ratings. In general they are the same as downhill skiing:
● Green, Easiest: Very little technical terrain features, generally even surface, limited grades.
● Blue, Intermediate: Some terrain features, uneven surface, moderate grades or limited steep grades. Jumps and drops generally have ride arounds.
◊ Black Diamond, Advanced Intermediate: Many terrain features, jumps, drops, steps, rocky, uneven surface, steep grades
◊◊ Double Black, Advanced: Enhanced terrain features, no ride arounds, steep grades.  No worries we don’t ride these on BAS rides.

Fitness Rating
Beginner:  Capable of 90 to 120 minutes of moderate physical activity. Frequent stops.
Intermediate:  Capable of 120 to 180 minutes of moderate physical activity with occasional periods of intense physical activity.  Infrequent and short stops.
Advanced:  Capable of greater than 180 minutes of moderate physical activity, long durations of intense physical activity.

Bike Handling Skills
Beginner:  Low speed ascents and descents. Very limited or no experience riding technical trail features such as drops, jumps, sharp corners, rocky trails.  Not familiar with body positioning.
Intermediate: Able to ride small features to some large features.  Able to handle sharp corners, narrow trails, quick terrain changes, steep descents, rocks and loose sections of trail.  Capable of jumps, hops or lifts, drops.  Familiar with body positioning for terrain.
Advanced:  Able to ride steep terrain with features.
