Intermediate Group Mountain Bike Ride

Join DCAB for a FREE Intermediate Group MTB Ride!

Every other Monday this summer!

Meet at 6:00 PM at the upper lot (by the pool), wheels down at 6:15 PM. Return (one lap) by 7:30 PM.

PLEASE SIGN UP AND SIGN THE WAIVER IN ADVANCE!

We will ride the awesome Dan’s Mountain Lonconia loop at a casual/moderate pace. The ride is for intermediate‐level riders looking to apply and improve their skills in a non‐competitive atmosphere. We will ride about 5 miles of intermediate-level terrain (about one loop), with some uphills and fun downhill-flowy sections. Then, depending on the group’s appetite, we can go for another lap.

There will be obstacles that require the rider to get their front wheel off the ground to clear successfully. Basic mountain biking skills are required. Short, steep climbs and descents may be encountered. More fit entry-level riders can successfully ride this intermediate trail.

While still “casual” in nature, this pace will have fewer stops than a beginner ride along the way. Riders with average fitness should do fine on this level of ride.

Questions on MTB skills are encouraged, and the intention is to have fun and gain confidence on the trails. You must sign a waiver (on‐site or electronic), wear a helmet, and be able to ride a bike comfortably. Bring your bike, helmet, and drinking water. Check the calendar or your email before the event in case the ride is canceled due to weather/trail conditions.

Meet at the Dan’s Mountain pool parking lot: 17410 Recreation Area Road SW Lonaconing, MD 21539
