Intermediate - Hangout Pace
This is the slower of our two intermediate groups. If you are still working on improving your cardio endurance or just enjoy taking more breaks for socializing, this is the group for you. This group is for those who demonstrate a sturdy stance on the bike for ascending/ descending, are comfortable starting to ride though rock obstacles and roots, but still know when to walk obstacles they are not comfortable with. They are comfortable with a moderate sustained pace. Skills include switchbacks, steeper climbs and descents, suspension compression to get over obstacles, rolling larger obstacles where wheels leave the ground. Trails are narrow, have some limited exposure, more climbs and descents and obstacles such as drops/roots of 1 ft or less.
Intermediate
This is the faster of our two intermediate groups. Note, we’re not racing, and it is still a no-drop ride. But we will take fewer breaks and will generally cover more miles.

InterVanced - Hangout Pace
This is the slower of our two InterVanced groups. If you are still working on improving your cardio endurance or just enjoy taking more breaks for socializing, this is the group for you. This group is for riders who are close to progressing to Advanced riding. They are capable of techniques such a front wheel and rear wheel lift and can put the two together to navigate over obstacles. They are fairly confident on steep climbs and descents and steeper switchbacks. Skills work includes maneuvering through larger rocks, roots, steeper switchbacks and tighter turns. Trails are progressing from typical “Blue” to some “Black” rated trails.

Intermediate - Trail Skills Session
Trail Skills Session rides are for intermediate or InterAdvanced riders who want to spend time learning and practicing bike-handling skills on the trail. Rides will stop frequently to work on selected obstacles or sections of trail.
