Biking (Mountain)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Walnut Creek Park
Let’s take advantage of this great weather and hit the trails before the Creekathon!!! Woot!!! Walnut Creek has a great beginner loop and more advanced trails depending on skill level, so we’ll start off easy and move to more advanced terrain based on the level of the group.
This trip is for bikers who have had little to no experience on a mountain bike and hope to improve their skills. If you are not a beginner biker, PLEASE do not sign up for this trip. The park is about 20 minutes south of UVA. No MTB experience is necessary, you just need to know how to ride a bike and be open to trying something new. We will not ride anything that anyone does not feel comfortable with.
The club has 8 great hardtail bikes, sized from small to large, which can be checked out along with helmets (helmets ARE REQUIRED for this trip). Please bring athletic shoes and clothing, water or gatorade (20 oz. bottles fit the holders), and sunglasses depending on the weather. Since my car will be full of bikes, I’m going to waitlist everyone until more drivers sign up.
