This is a no-drop, beginner paced ride around some of the best trails Balboa Park has to offer with time to work on some basic skills. The ride is from 5:30pm - 7:00pm, with frequent stops to regroup and to work on skills. Average distance is 5 - 8 miles with ~200ft elevation gain.
We will meet in the parking lot (see the map) and ride out to the trails together.

Mountain biking can be a dangerous sport, and learning new skills can be challenging. Always wear a helmet, bring plenty of water and if any part of the trail is above your ability and/or comfort zone it is okay to walk it.The ride is lead by Karen St.Germain.
