Irvine Ranch Conservancy (IRC) hosted its first public activity on the newly constructed Mountain Bike Skills Course at the City of Irvine’s Portola Staging Area on Sunday, April 25. The new Mountain Bike Skills Course has been in development for the past year with work executed by Irvine Ranch Conservancy’s Infrastructure & Planning Crew. “We were thrilled to have people come out and experience the new bike skills course at the Portola Staging Area,” said Dave Raetz, Vice President & Chief Operating Officer at Irvine Ranch Conservancy. “Many activities on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks were postponed this past year in accordance with state and local guidelines and we can’t wait to start welcoming people back to Orange County’s native wildlands in the coming months.”
