Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to beginner mountain biking! This one is a small one since a lot of the MTB trip leaders are busy this weekend (If any MTB ready trip leaders want to help out on this or beginner trips in the future please feel free to reach out). As always though, I’m so stoked to share more mountain biking with you all.
With the free access to mountain bikes and a great hill with a range of trail difficulties, we have an excellent situation for you to learn mountain biking. We have a nice beginner trail picked out, but we have some flexibility depending on how everyone is feeling. We will be going slow and taking lots of breaks, this trip is focused on learning how to mountain bike not testing physical limits.
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.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me (434-270-1818).
What you need:
– Water (Either a bottle that will fit in a bottle cage, or bring a small backpack/hip pack to hold it)
– Gloves (optional)
– Closed-toe shoes
– Weather appropriate clothing
What the club will provide:
– Bikes
– Helmets
The plan:
2:00pm- meet at the shred shack a grab a bike for everyone
2:30pm- ride up O-hill
4:15pm- back at the shred shack to clean up the bikes
The timing on the plan is pretty flexible to how people are feeling after some biking, we can always end early if people are tired.
