Come ride in the Watershed!

As mentioned in previous issues, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has recently opened the Fifield-Cahill Ridge trail  in the Peninsula Watershed to some controlled limited use by hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders. The newly opened 10-mile trail starts at Skyline Quarry at Highway 92 and extends northward to the watershed boundary at the Portola Ridge gate, where it connects with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's trail system and the Sweeney Ridge section of the Bay area Ridge trail which is open to the public.

Small groups of riders can now make reservations for a guided ride along the Fifield-Cahill Ridge trail. Equestrian groups are limited to 10 people and must be accompanied by volunteer trail leaders. To view a list of scheduled rides, and to make a reservation, register online at www.sfwater.org, or call 650-652-3203.
