MTB Ride at Granite Bay - Boomer and Beginner Ride

For beginners and boomers (you should be comfortable with shifting/braking and hills) who are looking to ride a more slow and social pace. This is a moderate for beginners with some short, but challenging hills and is about 15 miles total. Should be comfortable riding 10 miles at a recreational pace. Remember, THIS RIDE IS FOR FUN and NOT INTENDED TO BE A TRAINING RIDE OR A RACE.

This is a no rider left behind ride and will be swept. We will stop at the top of all major hills to rest and catch our breath. We will take breaks as needed to ensure all riders are ready to continue. Meeting at 8:30, however we ride at 8:45. The plan is to ride for about 3 hours, including out to Dotons Pt.

All riders are expected to have mountain bikes in sound working condition. Not a trail for hybrid bikes. It is a good idea to have some supplies (spare tube, patch kit, pump, etc). Bring some water (there are several places along the way to refill) 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. If running late or have questions please call me at [masked].

    We laugh at rain. Rain is suppose to stop later this morning. So we may start in the rain, but should stop shortly after. Ride is not canceled.

    Fun ride - rain stopped just as we got underway and only sprinkled a few times. Had a great time as always and the pizza after was great as well.

    Had a great time playing in the mud and crossing small "rivers". Glad I did not let the weather scare me away, getting a little wet was well worth every minute. Thanks Phred and I enjoyed riding with all of you.
