Itinerary:

Daylight is burning but we can still get at least one good loop in on Dwelling - or two if you're really quick. Then we can play around on Mosquito Flats and Mosquito Bite as the sky darkens. Sunset is 6:49 pm.

Please make sure your bike is ready at least the day before our ride. We will start on time at 5:00. If you don't make it on time then catch us on Dwelling. You are welcome to ride at your own pace. If you don't know the trails well (but really, it's a loop) and want to stick with one of us then you definitely can.

MANDATORY $1 donation to SORBA use the trails. There is a box at the trailhead you can put money in on your way to the trails. I'm making this mandatory as there is no reason you can't drop a buck in the box. These trails are amazing.

Parking is free and there are restrooms by the parking lot. There is also a bike wash station with hooks and hoses.


Required Items to Bring:

Helmet. No helmet = no ride

water, gatorade or whatever you like to keep hydrated (important)

Mountain bike 

pump, extra tube (on your bike, not in your car)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

snacks to fuel yourself

sunscreen/bug spray according to the season and weather


appropriate clothing

multi-tool

Event Directions:

The best way is to create your own directions from your starting point. Go to maps.google.com and paste the bolded text below directly in to the search bar. Then chose 'satelite view' for a birdseye view of the park.
