Hear ye, hear ye, it’s time for another trip to the hallowed trails of Observatory Hill. Whether it’s your first time leaving the comforts of pavement, or you’ve been mountain biking a few times and you’re looking to build your skills, this is the trip for you. Sure, you have ridden your bike before, but you truly long to shred the trail. O-hill is calling your name.
Don’t be afraid of the grand stories you may hear of the O’Hill trails – we have a beginner-friendly loop picked out without the legendary jumps and steep descents. So come and join us for 1-2 miles of slow-paced trail riding, with breaks as needed.
If you don’t have your own mountain bike or helmet, let us know on the trip questionnaire and we’ll try to secure you a club bike/helmet. Everyone will be waitlisted for this trip initially and depending on bike availability individuals will be taken off the wait list accordingly.
***If you were on the waitlist for our sept 19th trip and couldn’t get on, let us know in the questionnaire – we’ll give you priority off the waitlist for this trip!***

– Water (we can put a bottle cage on each bike)
