This is LABOR DAY and some of us have this day off. Great day for a Mountain Bike Ride eh? I am keeping this one mild for the beginner. If you have never been on a mountain bike but always wanted to try or your skills keep you away from the more advanced ride, here is your chance to put the lycro away for a day and don some kool baggies and play in the dirt. The beginner loop is about 6 miles long and for as short as it is it has a little of everything to have fun! Climbing, fast twisty singletrack, whoops and more. I along with our Southwest Bikes riders will be happy to answer any questions, go over technical riding advice and more. THIS WILL BE A NON-INTIMIDATION DAY.
Don't have a mountain bike and want to try this out? Dont forget, Southwest Bikes have many high quality rentals available. For this event, Meetup Members will get 10% off Rentals. Southwest Bikes Club Members will get 20% off Rental rate for this event.

Riding Deer Creek Road with the Boyz,...Everyone is invited,...ride is short but not for the faint of heart,...steep climbs take you to about 8700 feet and screeming fast downhills,...check your tires!!! We will be starting from hotel and riding to the Lee Canyon side and back,...This is not for beginners.
Bring Light and tail blinky please, If you don't have one, I rent and sell high quality Light N Motion lights,.sometimes I am able to provide a demo at no charge but I must know way in advance and it cannot be a regular thing, sorry.

Hey Cyclists, Ok, if I am posting this, then I must be missing biking. Plus, someone twisted my arm....OUCH! It's been about a year since I've really been riding due to health reasons (kinda blind on one eye), except for the occassional ride with friends. My friend and I did this ride last Saturday, and even little old me found it great. It's cooling down a bit, so hopefully some nice rides for a couple more months. See ROUTE LINK below.

So if you're a BEGINNER (or can push yourself a bit more). and haven't met us, it's a great opportunity to meet similar level cyclists. I do mostly these level of rides now, so if you want more and it works with my schedule, I will post.

Just look for us in the parking lot between ALBERTSONS AND DUNKIN DONUTS which is where we might end up to sit and chat afterwards. I'll be in a silver Subaru with license plates: KBGRL.

Difficulty status: This is a BEGINNER to a bit more, which is fairly flat, with hills on the return, My speed up those hills is 9 MPH. It's mostly bike paths, with very light traffic. Anyone with road bikes or hybrids will do just fine, but those with mountain will have to pedal a little harder. As always....NO ONE gets left behind. We stay with the slowest person....probably me for now.

I've allowed "Maybe" RSVPs, but remember to confirm and update the day before the event. It's going to be a beautiful day....so let's ride!!
