NEW for 2019 - a ride just for you speedy or tech savvy ladies!!! After the past years of our Wednesday rides and skills clinics, so many of you have improved in your riding abilities and are ready to take it up a notch. Join us at Northshore where we will have two main groups to choose from, both led by our PMBIA Certified Instructors. Group A will head East for some fast and flowy singletrack, and Group B will head West for rocky, technical practice.
You can expect the pace of Group A to average 8-9 mph which would take an hour and ten minutes to an hour and twenty minutes for the entire east side (~10.7 miles). We will stop a few times to regroup, but the focus of this ride is to keep a steady riding pace for the entire ride.
Group B will be less about speed and more about working on tricky rock gardens and improving your technical riding skills. There will be several opportunities to learn and improve your riding by sectioning the challenging technical trail features throughout the west side. This is NOT a beginner ride! We will be riding advanced sections of trail that can be very dangerous. As ALWAYS, ride at your own risk!
*Helmets are required. We will have water available and some nutrition, but ultimately you are responsible for staying hydrated and bringing your own nutrition. A hydration pack or water bottle is highly recommended.
