Rides
Wednesday Night Ride Series
These rides are open to everybody regardless of ability, it's not a race, and we do not drop anybody on these rides.
Our weekly Wednesday evening ride series is a lot of fun, and it's a great way to meet other riders and discover the trails in our region. We'll be hitting the trails at 6:00 PM every Wednesday. You just need to show up and be ready to go by 6:00. Pace varies according to who shows up, and often we will split into two groups of different speeds and technical abilities. During September and October, as the days shorten, our rides become "twi-light" rides requiring lights.
Thursday night Freeride/Skills Clinics @ Vietnam
We'll be holding a mini freeride/skills clinic the first Thursday night of every month starting in April and running through October. We'll ride at 6:00pm just like Wed. but these rides are a bit different from our Wednesday night rides.
The goal is not to put miles under your tires but instead to work on a particular
skill or technique in hope of becoming a more proficient technical rider. We will not
be riding far in most cases but I can guarantee a workout. We'll tackle rocks, streams,
logs, chutes, drops and other technical trail features. These will be highly technical
rides but we will practice on features that will engage riders of all skill levels from
beginner to expert.
**As with all of our rides, helmets are required and we also recommend knee and elbow pads.**
Information for all rides
*Helmets are always required for all rides.
*The parking lot is not the place to see if your bike needs work. Please arrive with a functional bike.
*Inclement weather can cancel the ride.
*Sometimes rides are cancelled or changed at the last minute. It
is highly recommended that you join
the Blackstone Valley mailing list to receive the latest info and directions
to the trailhead.
As always, we encourage our members to suggest places to ride. Contact Eammon Carleton with suggestions.
