Beginner ride 3/28/08 5:45pm at Mansfield Hollow

Beginner mtb ride on Friday, March 28th at 5:45pm at Mansfield Hollow.

Ready to ride at 5:45 if possible, we want to take full advantage of the daylight. For this first ride we will probably keep it a little on the short side, probably 5 miles or so.

All riders should bring water, an extra tube and pump, a mountain bike with no kickstand, and helmets are mandatory.

Everyone is welcome.

Meet in the dirt lot next to the ball field after the elementary school on route 89 in Mansfield.

If the weather is questionable I will post a cancellation here by 3pm on the 28th.

See you there!

Cool - will these be a regular thing?

[mybluebike]

Yes, our goal is 2 beginner rides per month through the summer. They will be on Fridays, mostly at Mansfield, maybe a few at Gay City.

Cool will kids be welcome as well for these? I've got a soon to be 12 year old and a soon to be 10 year old.

If you think they can manage the terrain then they are definitely welcome. Mansfield is fairly tame to an experienced mountain biker but it has enough roots and rocks to make it challenging for newer riders.

Got out to Mansfield on Sunday for a trail run and trail conditions are perfect. 2 weeks ago the trails were about 20 feet under water but all the water has drained and we're good to go for Friday.

After checking 3 separate forecasts I'm going to postpone this ride due to the expected snow/sleet/rain for Friday.

I will repost the new date soon, it will be another Friday evening ride either 4/11 or 4/18.
