Beginner Plus: I'm comfortable on green and most blue trails. I'm venturing out onto harder trails, but still have to walk some of the more technical features. Distance: Under 10 miles Intermediate: I am a confident rider and can ride my bike on technical terrain. I'm fine with roots and rocks, comfortable on blue trails and ready for new challenge. Distance: 10 - 15 miles Intermediate Advanced: Let's go on an adventure! We'll do a little more distance, a few more features, and try new things. *Rides are subject to change based on weather and group consensus. Stay tuned for more info & updates.
