New for 2024! We will also be offering a mom’s ride! If you are a true beginner with little to no off-road mountain biking experience, we’ll have a basic skills clinic. For our moms with more experience riding off-road, we’ll do a mellow social ride.

Please bring your mountain bike, helmet, water bottle/hydration pack, trail snacks, and sunscreen. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.

For the gear exchange, please feel free to bring any bike-related gear you’d like to sell, trade, or give away! If you do bring gear, it will be helpful to bring a blanket to set up your stuff on.

Coaches…we also need volunteers to help run this event and make it FUN! We have a different form for you to sign up HERE.

PLEASE sign up in advance for this event so we can ensure we have enough coaches to make this event run smoothly and safely!
