MTB Ride in Granite Bay - Strong Beginner Social Ride

This is a strong beginner ride (you should be comfortable with shifting/braking and hills) and are looking to ride a relaxed and social pace. This is a moderate for beginners with some short, but challenging hills and is about 8-10 miles total (depending on stamina of group). Should be comfortable riding 10 miles at a recreational pace.

Remember, THIS RIDE IS FOR FUN and NOT INTENDED TO BE A TRAINING RIDE.

This is a no rider left behind ride. We will stop at the top of all major hills to rest and catch our breath. We will take brakes as needed to ensure all riders are ready to continue (especially for myself). Meetup at 2:00 and pedal away around 2:15. The plan is to ride for about 2 hours.

All riders are expected to have mountain bikes in sound working condition. This is not a trail for hybrid bikes. Highly suggest carrying the following supplies (spare tube, patch kit, pump, etc). Bring some water and a lite snack if you feel the need.

As always, HELMETS ARE REQUIRED! If you are unable to show up, please update your RSVP a minimum of 2 hours before the start time of the event.

    Thank you everybody for coming out today. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather. I really enjoyed riding with this group of awesome riders. Everybody did a great job. The additional run to the water tower was a nice way to wrap up this ride...
