Group Rides

Multiple daily group rides will meet each morning and afternoon during the festival.  The 2011 schedule is listed below, and will also be posted at "The Hub".  These are casual rides at a slow to moderate pace. They are not races.  Faster riders please be patient so that all riders can have an enjoyable time.  Expert riders might want to explore our trails on their own. If you are interested in joining one of our group rides, please sign-up at our sign-up board at "The Hub" to give us an idea of the size of each group.  

Transportation to the trailheads is not provided.  Directions to the trailheads will be given at the meeting area.  Carpooling to the trailheads is encouraged and may be required to certain trailheads with limited parking.  If you have a vehicle capable of hauling multiple bikes or people, please make it available for the group rides

Each rider is responsible for his or her own well-being.  Most of our trails are located in a high altitude, alpine environment.  Please be prepared for sudden weather changes.  All riders should bring plenty of water, food, extra clothing, and tools and supplies to deal with any mechanical issues on the trail.  Please choose a ride within your skills and ability.

All riders must be registered with the festival and must read and sign the liability waiver prior to the ride.

Local volunteers will accompany each ride to help with orientation and will be available throughout the ride to answer any questions about our trails.
