PROGRAM DETAILS

All of our rides are on pedal access trails. Riders will need to be comfortable riding uphill for a reasonable period of time. We will take lots of breaks! We recommend having taken a mountain biking course prior to joining the ride.
-
Riders will need to be able to carry their own water and snacks. Our coaches will be carrying emergency supplies and tools, but riders will need to be mostly self-sufficient.

Riders will be with our experience coaches at all times and we will help them make smart decisions while on the trail. It is our job to create a life long passion for mountain biking!
