As always, the fun depends on the generosity of our  volunteers-- ride leaders/co-leaders and sweeps, clinicians*, wrenches, set-up and take-down people are needed.

We will try to have 4-5 led rides going out per hour, from 10-1.... 

*if you have a forte' with the bike that you'd like to share with a group on- or off- trail, let's get you on the schedule!!

Some examples would be: 'On-trail flat repair', 'on-the-fly derailleur adjustment', or, 'what to do if your chain breaks', 'PYT' ride', Basic Bike Safety for kids, Safe Bike Commuting, Log-Hopping, YOU name it! It can be 15 minutes long, or all day......
