July 12 Saturday - Sycamore Canyon/Pt. Mugu State Park, Santa Monica Mountains Novice (C level ride) A great ride for first timers to SBMBC. One of the easiest and most beautiful rides near Los Angeles! We will ride up Sycamore Canyon and take the Two Foxes Trail. This will be an eight-mile round trip ride on fairly level ground with one creek crossing, some single track and fire road. The leader will go over the basics of how to ride a mountain bike as we enjoy following the river trail into Sycamore Canyon. If everyone agrees, we can add or subtract from the standard ride, and for example, go up Guadalasca to Overlook and back down to the start. For more information on C-rides, check the SBMBC website. July 13 Sunday - Brown, Burton, and BBQ, San Gabriel Mountains Intermediate (B Level ride). This ride will start in the Hahamonga Watershed County Park, formerly known as Oak Grove Park, home of best disc golf course in the west. We will cross the park and ride up the Brown Mtn. fire road to the Ken Burton Trail. We descend this steep single track into the Arroyo to the Gabrielino Trail. This ride does involve water crossings and some hike-a-bike. Approx. distance 15 miles. Option to do another lap up Brown and down El Prieto adds about 6 miles. BBQ afterwards in the park.

The CORBA free skills clinic is held on the first Saturday of every month at Malibu Creek State Park. Mountain biking is a lot like tennis or skiing. Just a few minor adjustments in technique can make a huge difference in your control and proficiency. If you want to get better faster, you need to know the fundamentals of mountain biking technique. Whether you're just getting into mountain biking or have been riding for years, you'll learn some valuable tips from our Introduction to Mountain Biking skills class that is offered each month.
