Fall Fest Group Rides
All rides are suggested routes curated for you by our team of awesome local volunteer ride leaders! Exact routes may vary slightly depending upon group composition and trail conditions the day of the event, but this will give you an idea of what to expect. Routes have multiple bail-out points along the way, so if you’re feeling out of your element or want to move onto another activity, just let your leader/sweep know, and cut loose at a bail-out point!
