Group rides are open to DSS Members only.
Welcome new DSS Members! NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION IS FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS. Our Orientation course is a pre-requisite BEFORE signing up to ride in any of our group rides. This is why we're making an extra effort to add another new member orientation to our schedule.
Please note: if it is your first time participating in a DSS group ride and you sign up for any group other than DSS Orientation at one of our future rides, we reserve the right to move you to our orientation group at any time.
Check-in table opens up at 5:45pm.
Arrive early and be ready to ride at 6:00 pm.
If you don't see the DSS van then you're not in the right place!
What is DSS Orientation? This session will help you make the most out of your next group ride experience! Our ride leaders use several different words (that you may have never heard of or used before) to coach you through the trail. This helps keep everyone safe and the ride flowing smooth. During orientation we will teach, demonstrate, and practice:
- DSS Mountain Bike Terminology
- Trail Etiquette
- How to check your A,B,C’s before each ride.
- What type of riding gear to wear for safety and comfort.
- How to maintain a strong and stable body position while riding.
- How to use your brakes properly.
- How to get the most out of your gears for smooth and efficient riding.
- Helmets and closed toe shoes are required
- Bring your own water and nutrition
Ride at your own risk and please read the entire liability waiver.
