MTB Beginner Ride along Lake Natoma
Hazel Light Rail Station (map)
New Starting Location - Hazel Light Rail Station parking lot (just past the Nimbus Winery on the opposite side of Folsom Blvd.).
Back by popular demand - truly a beginner or novice dirt ride. If you have only ridden your mountain bike a few times, this is the ride for you. The trails are mostly dirt, with some pavement. No long climbs - all the hills are short and not very steep. It is a great place to start learning some shifting and braking skills in the dirt. Total ride length is 10 miles (5 miles up and 5 miles back). Ride will take about 2 hours with rests stops as needed along the way. We will have a quick rest break at Karen's Bakery(it's closed but the restrooms are usually available! at the halfway point).
We will meetup at 10:30 and be ready to roll at 10:45.
Please bring a bike in good working order. This trail is also acceptable for hybrid bikes, in case you do not have a mountain bike. We can hit Starbucks after the ride if anyone wants to.
Helmets are required for this ride and bring water. Also suggested you dress for the weather (warmly and wear full fingered gloves as well). RAIN, TORNADOES, FLOODS, SNOW, WIND, SLEET, OR HAIL WILL CANCEL THIS RIDE.
If you have any questions please call Adrienne @ [masked].
