What to expect: North Shore NEMBA has hosted this ride for many years, and it's always been a great gathering for mountain bikers. This year will showcase some of the best trails the forest has to offer, not-so-coincidentally built by North Shore NEMBA's trail building gurus.
There will be arrowed courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced cross-country riders, as well as led rides of all levels.
The cost is $15 for the general public, $10 for NEMBA members, and if you join NEMBA you get to ride for free!
Woman's Skills Clinic! Pro East Coast racers from Team Vitamin Water will be holding women's specific clinics starting at 10am. The clinics will show women how to get the most out of their suspension as well as riding skills to conquer obstacles and have more fun riding New England trail. Clinics are for advanced-beginners and intermediate riders. We hope to see you there!
