Itinerary:

Let's head to Nose Hill Park to check out the trails and put some miles on our bikes! This trip is for beginner / novice mountain bikers. Riders should be comfortable and balanced on their bikes (ie: you can ride up and down a curb without incident) and have a basic level of fitness.

Note: This trip is not suitable for those those who are not comfortable biking off paved / gravel pathways, and there will not be any instruction at this event. This trip an opportunity for those who aren't quite ready for the D4 trips to come out for a ride / get some practice in for the upcoming season, and for those who want to give riding off the pavement a try with a relaxed group.

We'll start off on the gravel pathways before heading onto the trail network, choosing trails that best suit the group as we go. We'll cycle at a slow-moderate pace, and aim to be out for 60 to 90 minutes including breaks. For comfort sake, be sure to hop on your bike once or twice before you come out!
