MTB Ride at Granite Bay - Slow and Pokey Ride

Cavitt Junior High (map)

Selected By: Terry

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 ride for beginners with some short, but challenging hills and is about 15 miles total. You should be comfortable riding 10 mph at a recreational pace on the flats. 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 7:45 am and ready to roll at 8 am SHARP. 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. Please bring a spare tube and 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 you have questions, please call Phred at [masked] or Terry at [masked].

    I'll be sure to go slow. But I don't know about doing the pokey thing. Don't you have to put your right foot in or is it out.

    No, no, no - you're thinking of the "hokey pokey", Lisa. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything hokey about us.

    Thanks for the great ride, Fred! If you decide to organize those clinics that you mentioned, I do believe I'd be interested. Thanks again.
