Itinerary:

We'll depart from the parking lot to the west of the intersection of Groat Rd and River Valley Rd. at 8:00PM - please be geared up and ready to go.

Want to try out a little easy mountain biking? We'll head west into McKinnon Ravine, which has a paved path the whole way, and also side trails for mountain biking. You can spend as little or as much time as you want on the little trails, trying out some easy mountain biking. Don't be in a rush, though... this isn't a "rush to the end and then turn around and rush back" event... this is a "play to our heart's content on the trails" event, so we'll be toodling around in the ravine until we lose sunlight, get too cold, or are done.

Required Items to Bring:
Bicycle - hybrid or mountain bike
Helmet
