Details
This mountain bike ride takes riders through lovely Bear Brook State Park trails on a mostly intermediate level trails.
The ride departs at 9:00am with two ride leaders. We will be rolling at a moderate, endurance/steady, but not fast pace and will split into two groups if that helps allow everyone to have a great ride, otherwise, we’ll stick together. You should come with some mountain bike experience and fitness to allow you to ride for 3+ hours safely on a warm day. If you don’t know about your fitness level, come prepared with the route and ready to ride solo (we already have at least one person who expects to ride off the back).
