This ride is best suited for intermediate and above mountain bikers with at least a moderate base fitness level. We will stop periodically to regroup, rest, etc. as needed.

What to bring

You'll need plenty of water, some food, and a basic bicycle repair kit including a tube that fits your wheels. Check the weather and pack extra clothes as needed - weather in the mountains can change quickly.
