General Information: We will be riding trails at the Emerald Mountain trail system. The exact trails will be determined after the number and skill level of registrants are determined and we may end up breaking into two or more groups.


Additional Notes:

  • Please come prepared! All riders are REQUIRED to have a helmet, adequate water (3 liters is recommended), and supplies to fix a flat tire. 
  • NOTE – It will likely be hot so be sure to bring as much water as you think you will need.
  • Snacks, sunscreen, rain jacket, gloves, and sunglasses are all HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
  • If you would like to skip riding to and from the trailhead, that is totally fine! Please coordinate with Jonah Howe and we can determine carpools if possible.
  • Remember - this is a networking event and NOT A Race. Nab those Strava segments on your own time 😊
