RIDER SKILL/FITNES: Advanced Riders
This ride is geared for Technically Adv and fit riders due to Event Leader(s) brisk pace and tech skill needed for the terrain we will encounter in the park. If you are a fit rider and know the trail well enough to go around the various rock features and still keep up with the group you are welcome to join us. We usually start out together but may split into subgroups depending on rider turnout, energy levels, and/or route preferences.

If you are willing to lead subgroups, pls let us know prior to the ride.

As a member or RSVP to this event, you agree to ride within your abilities and at your own risk. If you are new to the group and not familiar with the GB trails, reach out to an Event Host prior to the ride to determine if this is a good fit for you.
