Beginners

The beginner group will divide into hangout and hustle paces after checking in at the trailhead. This group is for those who can operate their bikes, but are still learning the art of gear shifting, climbing, descending, cornering and balance on the bike. Riders are less comfortable with mountain bike handling techniques. Skills to work on include navigating small roots, rocks, and turns. Will be starting to work on climbing and descending techniques and appropriate braking with descending. Trails are wider, have more varied terrain with some elevation change and small obstacles (sand, small rocks).

BegIntermediate

The begintermediate group will divide into hangout and hustle paces after checking in at the trailhead. This group is for those who are ready to take a step beyond Beginner rides towards the Intermediate group. Riders can control bike speed / direction and shift gears quickly and efficiently. They are consistent with keeping level pedals, one finger on the brake and demonstrate good neutral and ready positions on the bike. Skills to work on are rocks/ step ups lower than curb height, more bike/body separation, cornering, rolling obstacles, consistently being out of the seat for descents, and mastering braking. Trails are progressing from typical “Green” to more “Blue” trails.
