8 - 16 plus mile ride. About a 2 hour ride.

This is an all level ride, which allows us to break into groups that best fit the skill-levels of the riders. The ride will last from 1.5 to 2 hours. Groups are as follows: Beginners (8-10 mile ride, 5-8 mph), Intermediate (10-12 mile ride, 8-10 mph)*, Fast XC (12-16, 10-15 mph)*, and Enduro (8-12, 10-15 mph)*.

*Drops/ledges may be added based on skill level of group, but must be announced to your group prior to your ride. (Beginners rides will not have drops/ledges.)

The goal of this ride is to unify all level riders to join together as one MTB community and gives riders the encouragement and comfort to ride in a group that is more adapted to their abilities. This ride will also allow riders to socialize before and after each ride with a variety of riders of different skill-levels who can give or gain knowledge.

At the start of each ride we please sign in and sign the liability waiver located at the pavillion. We will notify you who your ride lead will be upon sign in depending on your skill level/riding style.

This is a no-drop ride please be prepared and allow enough time to finish each ride. Each ride all riders will be expected to follow proper trail etiquette (see IMBA - Rules of the (https://www.imba.com/about/rules-trail).

At the end of each ride, a 30 minute clinic or hot topic will be conducted at the Optimist pavilion. Each month there will be a different clinic or topic discussion after each ride. Each month's post ride clinic will be listed in the ride.
