What we’re about
Love to feel the wind in your hair but don't want to be restrained by pavement? This group is open to anyone with a desire to stray slightly off the beaten path, and pick up a little dirt along the way.
Dual sports, thumpers, and endures riding tarmac, forest service roads, single & two track, and anything in-between. Experienced roadies, green newbies and camp rats are all welcome.
We don't have to have the same bike or skill level to have fun riding together. However, we do believe in having respect and patience for fellow riders, that you always and forever ride SAFE, and that you share your wisdom during the ride and your beer afterwards.

1. There are no fees
2. We do not take responsibility for other riders safety - but we stress safety-first
3. We do not take roll. We do not keep track of riders that show up at events
