NORTH COAST, Calif. – On Dec. 3, staff members from Tuleyome and the Redwood Empire Mountain Bike Alliance (REMBA) teamed up to lead mountain bikers on an excursion across the top of the Blue Ridge on the border of the Cache Creek Wilderness.

Among the leaders was Andrew Fulks, board president of Tuleyome, and a long-time lover of the outdoors.

Along with his duties at Tuleyome, Fulks is the assistant director of UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden and has been a constant advocate for appreciation of the Putah and Cache Creek watersheds. 

On this outing, Fulks led bikers on a nine-mile ride from the Judge Davis trailhead in Lake County and continued toward Lynch Canyon, to the Three Ponds Trail and along the High Bridge Trail to Highway 16.

REMBA’s mission is to build community among mountain bikers of the Redwood Empire – the region in northern California that lies on the Pacific coast between San Francisco Bay and the Oregon border – through communication, education, trail work, and stewardship of regional parks and open spaces, and it invests resources to build partnerships with organizations that have similar goals like Tuleyome.

This outing was the latest in a series of events hosted by Tuleyome in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act.
