CORBA Recreational Rides Our recreational rides are free and open to the public. We offer a full monthly schedule of mountain bike rides for all skill levels. CORBA’s recreational mountain bike rides are lead by experienced and knowledgeable guides and are a great way for you to experience a variety of trails in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  View the photo gallery of the Recreational Rides! We offer weekend mountain bike rides in the Santa Monica Mountains, Palos Verdes, the San Gabriel Mountains, Verdugo’s, Simi Valley and Orange County. Most rides are a short drive from Los Angeles communities, the South Bay / Manhattan Beach, San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Burbank, Agoura and the Conejo Valley in Ventura County. We also offer weekday and evening rides throughout the area, and extended trips in locations throughout the Western USA. For beginning mountain bikers, we include dedicated novice rides in our schedule. We also recommend taking advantage of our free mountain biking skills clinics. See our schedule of rides to the right, or get the full details. Please contact the ride leader at least one day in advance if you plan to attend a ride. Please print, sign and bring our waiver to your first ride with us. CORBA Recreational Rides is organized by Board Member Louisa Bonnie. Several years ago, CORBA and the South Bay Mountain Biking Club merged. We continue to use both names because the South Bay Mountain Biking Club is widely known and is a key component of the area’s mountain biking cultural history. South Bay Mountain Biking Club Mission Statement 1. Our primary goal is to provide a group mountain biking experience that is fun, social, challenging and educational. To achieve that goal we strive to accommodate cross country riders of all skill levels from beginner to advanced, offer rides lead by experienced and skilled leaders, coordinate rides that are in variety of locations and terrain types, educate riders about trail etiquette, appropriate trail use and good cross country biking skills. 2. South Bay Mountain Biking Club (SB) membership is free and open to all. Newcomers are always welcome. 3. The direction of SB is determined by the membership and members’ participation. We have open monthly meetings. 4. We encourage SB members to join and support CORBA and IMBA. We encourage members to participate in CORBA trail workdays and other trail advocacy events. We support CORBA's and IMBA’s Rules of the Trails: Ride on open trails only. Leave no trace. Control your bike. Always yield trail. Never scare animals. Plan ahead.
