Beginner Mountain Biking at Ohill

OVERVIEW

I went on one of these trips at the beginning of fall semester having never ridden a mountain bike before and had a blast. The club bikes are awesome, so I signed up for a few more trips over the fall and ended up getting the chance to ride some of the coolest trails in Utah when we were in Moab. I highly recommend taking advantage of trying out the club bikes while you’re here.

Ohill has a great range of trails – I have a good beginner loop picked out and depending on people’s comfort levels, we could try some easier intermediates. We’ll keep it slow and take lots of breaks. The only prerequisite for this trip is the ability to ride a bike. You don’t need to know anything about biking on trails or with mountain bikes, but it’ll be assumed you know the basics of riding a bike.

If you don’t have your own mountain bike or helmet, let me 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.

What you need:
– Water
– Gloves (optional)
– Closed-toe shoes
– Weather appropriate clothing

What the club will provide:
– Bikes
– Helmets

The plan:
3:00pm- meet at the shred shack a grab a bike for everyone
3:15pm- Ride up O-hill
3:30pm- Have fun riding
5:30pm (or earlier)- back at the shred shack
