Adventure Tips
Reserve Your Bike Early
E-mountain bikes are popular and limited in number; book in advance to secure the right size and time slot.
Hydrate Well
Bring plenty of water—climbing to 1800 feet can be demanding even with pedal assist, especially under the California sun.
Check Weather Before Riding
Variable mountain weather can impact trail conditions, so dressing in layers and bringing rain gear in spring and fall is recommended.
Use Proper Riding Technique
E-bikes assist pedaling but require balance and throttle control; beginners should practice on flat terrain before tackling steep climbs.
