116 Washington Avenue - A.K.A. Shred Shack
McCormick Observatory, McCormick Road, Charlottesville, VA, USA
HELLO! This is a special trip. I very timidly mountain biked for the first time on a beginner ohill trip a year ago today. In celebration, I’d love to give others an introduction to the sport that I’ve become obsessed with! I plan to take you on the same trails I was taken upon and bestow all the knowledge I can upon your brains. To make things clear, this trip is targeted towards people who have zero mountain biking experience or have been on one or two trips before (priority will be given to those with none). The goal will be to get you comfortable riding on trails and being on a mountain bike! NOT to test your endurance. The only requirement is that you must be comfy riding a bike on the road and have half-decent balance, I will teach you the rest! We will start with the absolute basics and work our way up.
If you’ve got any questions/concerns at all regarding this trip, please shoot me a text and I’d love to chat:

If you don’t have your own mountain bike or helmet, let me know on the trip questionnaire and I’ll try to secure you a club bike/helmet. Everyone will be waitlisted for this trip initially and depending on bike availability people will be taken off the waitlist accordingly.
