Ride Guidelines:
These rides are somewhat exploratory in nature. We have not pre-ridden all of the trails, and while we are on the lookout for announced trail closures and obstructions, there can a bit of guesswork involved. Sometimes, we rely on other riders who are more familiar with the trails for guidance. Please maintain the spirit of curiosity and open-mindedness about last-minute route tweaks.
These are NO-DROP rides. We ride with participants with widely differing abilities, and it is our goal to keep a cohesive group. We will stop periodically throughout the ride to allow everyone to catch up. If you prefer a faster pace, please let us know at the start of the ride that you will be going ahead without us.
Please observe trail etiquette by staying in the right lane except when it is safe to pass.
Ride at your own risk
Weather:
We’ll ride in any weather, except steady downpour. Notification, if necessary, will be sent by 6pm Saturday, May 3. Backup date is May 11.
