CoEd BIPOC beginner level mountain bike. This is a ride geared toward getting some traditionally marginalized groups without much trail riding experience out on the trails together - primarily for black, brown, indigenous, people of color only, please. Social pace, no one left behind. You should be somewhat comfortable on a bike with basic knowledge like locating and using shifters and brakes, and the ability to be moderately physically active for a couple hours with breaks.
There will be a few small short inclines and hills, some rollable rocks, roots, and gravel. However there will be no steeper climbs or steep descents and every obstacle and incline/descent will be rollable or easily walkable.
We will stop to discuss features like corners, rocks, and roots.
Bring plenty of water, some snacks, and layers...like a rain jacket just in case.
This ride is limited to 18+ years old unless riding with a parent or guardian. All riders need to meet the above experience requirements.
