Itinerary:

This event is open to INTERMEDIATE level mountain bikers. We may separate into 2 groups depending on your skills level.

Moose Mountain has a multitude of downhill trails. We will decide which ones to ride. Most likely, we will ride Family Guy, 7-27 and Shaft. We will shuttle up and we will aim for 3 runs.

There may be some snow on the mountains. If there is too much snow, we'll find a trail that is lower in elevation.

Helmets are mandatory. No helmet, no riding. Wearing other protective gears is highly recommended but not mandatory. E.g. gloves, shin pad/knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, full face helmet, crash pants.

We are going to shuttle to the top of the mountain and then ride down. If you can drive, please indicate how many people and bikes you can take.
