OPTION 2: MOUNTAIN BIKING will follow a group ride format – all starting at 9:30 am (sign in starts at 8:30am) and lasting about 2 hours, covering 12 miles of singletrack. HELMETS AND TRAIL READY BIKES REQUIRED. Riders will break up into three groups:
1. CASUAL MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS may be new to the sport (maybe even your first trail ride!) or might be experienced riders just seeking an easy pace to enjoy the plants and wildlife. SWAMP guides will lead the group at a more sedate pace and take multiple breaks along the trail.
2. INTERMEDIATE MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS have some riding experience. SWAMP guides will lead the group at a moderate pace and will stop for a break between Twisted Pine (7 miles) and Deliverance (5 miles).
3. ADVANCED MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS will go at their own individual pace without guides.
