Trails & Ales

This intermediate/advanced level ride is a great mid-week tonic. Ride at your own pace and we’ll regroup at intersections. This is a no-drop ride. We finish every ride by gathering at a local establishment for food and good cheer. Explore trails that are new to you and find a new riding buddy or two. Join the fun!

This week we will be riding at Valmont Bike Park in conjunction with the Slay it Forward Bike Demo and Happy Hour https://www.bouldermountainbike.org/event/slay-it-forward-20190905/. Valmont has cross country trails, skills areas, pump tracks, jumps and more. Bike parks aren't just for the Red Bull crowd, join us for fun riding, trying new skills and exploring this Boulder gem. And if you like, stop by the Specialized Experience Center first and grab a demo bike. And please join us for drinks and pizza at 6:30!

Don't worry about getting to Valmont early, the group will be easy to catch up with in the Park.

Aerobic Difficulty: 2/10
Technical Difficulty: 1/10 - 10/10 (choose your own adventure!)
