Calling all mountain bikers looking for a slower paced and supportive group ride. Maybe you’re new to mountain biking, recovering from an injury, out of shape? No judgement -- this group ride and hang sesh is meant for you. Read to the end for info on free rental bikes* provided by Silver Birch Cycles.
THE RIDE
We’re talking a no-drop, mellow pace on a smiles-over-miles kind of ride that is beginner friendly. We'll ride both sides of Fowler's Crossing starting on the Will Rogers side (aka the northern side of 86). Ride leaves the parking lot at 5:30, so please come early to get ready.
THE RIDERS
Local riders including Karen, Kris, Chris, and Justin will lead the group. The route is meant for riders who are slow, out of shape, and/or beginners. There will be options for longer/shorter trails along the way. For those who have a need for speed or strive for more of a challenge, you’re still welcome to the grill and chill afterwards – in fact, we hope you’ll join us there around 7pm 🙂
GRILL & CHILL
After the ride, we'll tailgate in the parking lot. Everyone is welcome (even if you rode elsewhere or skipped the ride entirely) and anyone can throw something on the grill. We'll have some drinks to share but you're welcome to bring your elixir of choice. Finally, we'll zip over to Mountain Mist via the rail trail for a bit of ice cream. Ride - Grill - Ice Cream. Quite an evening.
