A mixed‑surface, good‑vibes‑only roll through Bakersfield’s dirt, paths, and in‑between places.
This isn’t a mountain bike ride. It’s not a gravel ride. It’s not a road ride. It’s all of them—and none of them. Our Saturday All‑Terrain Ride is built around the kind of riding Bakersfield actually offers: canal paths, farm roads, singletrack ribbons, neighborhood cut‑throughs, and whatever dirt looks fun that morning. It’s a ride for people who love exploring more than categorizing.
What This Ride Feels Like
The pace is conversational, the terrain is mixed, and the vibe is playful. Expect dust, small climbs, smooth sections, chunky bits, and the kind of “let’s see where this goes” energy that makes riding fun. It’s not technical, it’s not fast, and it’s not intimidating. It’s simply a great way to start your weekend on two wheels.
Riders show up on all kinds of bikes. Rigid MTBs, ATBs, gravel rigs, old steel bikes, hybrids, whatever you’ve got that can handle dirt with a smile. There is usually donuts along the way as well.

Why We Ride This Way
Bakersfield isn’t a “road cycling city” or a “mountain biking city.” It’s a place where the best rides happen in the in‑between spaces—canals, orchards, foothill edges, and dusty connectors. This ride celebrates that. It’s built for the terrain we actually have and the riders who want to enjoy it without pressure.
Stay Connected
Weekly routes, weather calls, and updates are posted in our Discord. It’s the easiest way to stay in the loop and meet the crew.
An Open Invitation
If you’ve ever wanted to join a group ride but felt like you didn’t fit the “roadie” or “MTB” mold, this is your ride. Bring a bike that can handle dirt, bring a good attitude, and come roll with us.
