Itinerary:

This is not going to be an advanced or speedy ride, beginners are encouraged to sign up.  Harbins Park has nearly 20 miles of mountain bike trails.  None of which are too difficult or technical, but that doesn't mean they aren't fun to ride.

We will be riding the "older" trails.  We will take the longer path of each loop to reach the creek.  After crossing the creek, we will make our way to some nice downhill sections with some fun jumps and berms.  We'll make sure to loop back around and hit these downhill sections two or three times.  Once everyone has had their fill of these downhill sections, we will make our way back across the creek, up the short side of the loops, and back to the parking lot.

After we return to the parking lot, those who have the time and energy may choose to ride the "newer" set of trails adding an additional seven miles to the ride.
