Itinerary:

(Before last year) We haven't done this loop for YEARS! Especially at night but it used to be a fave! It makes a pretty good night ride and is a good change from WBC.

If someone wants to get into night riding on a relatively short ride, this is a good one to do it one. And if you need a light, I have a couple spares.

A good set of lights is required for this ride. Minimum 10 W or 800 lumens.

Jumpingpound Loop is a fun single track on a 10km figure-8 loop, with the western trail highlighted by several views across the Sibbald Flats (in the daytime, night - not so much). We will divide the group into a slow poke once around and a speedy gonzales twice around based on participant interest.

Required Items to Bring:

- Mountain Bike
- Helmet **NO EXCEPTIONS**
- Snacks and Water
- Tools, Tube and Pump
- Clothing for all weather conditions
- A good set of lights and batteries that will last a least 1.5 hours.
- A spare light in case your main light dies...

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

- Personal first aid kit
- Camera and a BIG flash
- Bear Spray
