- **Event Name**: GLOC FROTY (first ride of the year) 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 01 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join us for the first ride of the year!  Burn off those holiday calories and begin 2026 with a great start.  Davy and Kelly Hazlegrove from Blackwater Bike Shop will be your ride leaders, so you know it'll be a fun time!

Kelly will also be hosting a free skills clinic starting at 10am, prior to the group ride.  This will mostly be geared towards new rider foundational skills.  But if you're a seasoned rider and just need to freshen up your body positioning and/or handling skills, please join in!  Meet in the Snowflex parking lot and check in with Kelly @ 10am.  If you're interested in this clinic, a rough headcount would be nice, so please RSVP via email to info@blackwaterbikeshop.com

When- Jan 1 2026, Skills clinic @ 10am, group ride @ 11am

Where- Candlers Mountain trail system. Meet at Snowflex parking lot.  If the Snowflex parking lot is locked by some chance, we will meet at the lower parking lot (Askew Rd). 

Who- We'll break into groups depending on attendance.  Usually, we have 3 groups; a Fast group for those looking for a workout, good distance (10+ miles) at a tempo pace. An intermediate group that is 6-8 miles and hits the "fun" stuff (jump trails and fast descents).  And a "Beginner-ish" group that uses the flatter trails and short on miles.  But these groups all depend on who shows up :)

**Please note- Candlers Mountain trails aren't exactly beginner-friendly as there's a level of skill and fitness needed for most trails.  

The ride will last approx 1-2hr.  Please dress warm and bring water.  

Helmets and GLOC waivers are required.  Please print and sign a GLOC waiver from the link below.  We'll also have some onsite the morning of the ride.
