East Bay Dirt Classic

The 2nd Annual East Bay Dirt Classic is a go this Saturday. Head on over to Weaver Place and Skyline Blvd for the start. Make sure to park on Skyline if you’re driving. The Long Course starts at 8:00am and the Short Course at 8:30am. Folks will be around to sign you in starting at 7am. Riders can switch between long/short at sign in.

Load a copy of the Short Course or the Long Course onto your bike computer before the event, look for the prominent green signage, or don’t lose the wheel in front of you!

We hope you work up an appetite – the grills will be hot, the pig will be roasted, and the drinks will be cold after the ride!

Well, that went quickly! We hit our 100 registrant limit, so we’re full up for 2019. Emails will be going out shortly to all registered riders with more details about the route and sponsors!

Giddy up – The 2019 East Bay Dirt Classic registration has just opened! Head on over to the registration page and make sure you’ve got a spot!

Thank you all for making last year’s East Bay Dirt Classic an incredible success! In total we raised more than $50,000 for the Alameda County Community Food Bank between proceeds from the event and associated fundraising. 

This year we are running the Second Annual East Bay Dirt Classic on Saturday September 7th, 2019. While the course details are being finalized, it will be similar to last year in that the long course will be a mixed terrain event and incorporate classic trails from Chabot, Redwood, Joaquin Miller and Tilden Parks. There will also be a shorter option for those who prefer. And yes, the course markings will be much easier to follow this year…

There will be loads of prizes on offer for top 3 male and female finishers in both events as well as KOM/QOM prizes. 

This year participation will be limited to the first 100 people (total in both categories). .    

Please continue to check this site for updates and for photos and results from last year’s event.

Thank you again for your interest and your support of the Alameda County Community Food Bank! We hope to see you on September 7th!   

2019 is here, and planning for the second EBDC is in full effect! Stay tuned for updates

Get your photos here on Google Photos while they’re hot! See how long it took you to make it to the end!

The inaugural EBDC has ended without a hitch! We raised exactly $51,501.63 for the Alameda County Community Food Bank and had a heck of a good time! We’re busy pulling photos and results together and will post them here and email them out to all the riders.

More to come soon!

Tomorrow!

Skyline Blvd and Weaver Place

8:45am for the Long Route

9:45am for the Short Route

 

The very first East Bay Dirt Classic is on its way! Clear your calendar for August 18th, register online, and get ready for an epic dirt ride. The full course is an ass-kicking 45 miles long, with over 5,500 feet of elevation. Recover at the end with beer and a BBQ lunch, and enter our raffle to raise money for the Alameda County Community Food Bank and win some great prizes.

After some hard core testing, we’ve decided to split the event into two courses: the Full Route and the Short Route. The Short Route will be 25 miles, 3000 feet of climbing, and will start at 10:00am. The Full Route will be 45+ miles, 5,500 feet of climbing, start one hour earlier at 9:00am, and be hard as hell!

Also, anybody who pre-registers on the web site will get a sweet T-Shirt at the event! Woo!
