Fairland Intermediate Ride (Parking @ The Ice House)

We try our best to host fun rides in a safe manner, but we all know stuff happens that is out of our control. By signing up to this event, you are agreeing to our waiver located here:

MVD Mountain Bikers Waiver

Please also make sure to agree to the waiver when you sign up. A question should pop when signing up.

Lights should now be considered since the sun is now setting before 8pm.

Wheels rolling at 6pm unless someone texts me they're running a little late.

The days are getting longer, so a light is not really necessary, but it's a good idea to bring one in case we get delayed.

We normally do 10-12 miles, and average 8-9mph. This ride is more for Intermediate riders due to the pace. We wait up at intersections to let all riders catch up. If you have a good amount of rides under your belt and can average 8mph or better on singletrack trails, and take small brakes, then you will probably will be able to hang but it will be a challenge.

About Fairland: 90% non-technical ride with few major climbs and no mandatory obstacles (they all have ride-arounds). Promise, no rocks. None! (there is one section of busted-up concrete, but it's not rocks, and it's only 10-15 feet long). Anyway, there are a couple good places to stop and practice log-overs, and balance on the boardwalks, and some good flow trails. We will visit the skills pit but be advised, there are drops, jumps, skinnies, and overall technical features that will require the appropriate experience. Always take caution and know your technical ability limits.

What to bring: Plenty of water, helmet (no helmet no ride), your mtb of course!, multi-tool (although you can borrow mine), patch kit, extra tube (make sure it has the same valve you need for your wheel), a snack if you're doing both loops.
