The ride is a loop with a fair amount of elevation gain. We will start on Bayliss Road, just as it starts to climb. We will loop back to Westridge which will take us to the dirt. Following the fire road until it ends near the old missile battery. Depending on time, people can head back the way we came or carry on with the loop and do some single track.

Or we can stay in the canyon and in the dirt to the defunct Nike Missile area. I am flexible.

Either-way, this was a great ride when we were doing it. If an early morning ride makes sense for you, come on down.

Note: we need two to commit before 5PM the night before. It is early. If you are going to bail text the ride lead.

Expect to suffer a bit getting to the trailhead gate at the end of Westridge Road. But the downhill and the views are worth it.

IMPORTANT:
Mountain biking is an inherently dangerous sport, especially for those who tend to take risks. As event organizers we assume absolutely no responsibility for you or your equipment. We are simply a mountain biking “buddy”, nothing more. If you choose to participate you assume all risk involved. Also, please adhere to the following:

• Always wear a helmet when mountain biking. This is mandatory, no exceptions.
  
• Protective pads, gloves etc are recommended on more technical rides.
  
• Know your limitations, and do not attempt what you are not comfortable with. Hike-a-bike is no shame.
  
• Bring at least one spare tube, sunscreen, energy bars/food and enough water. Hydration packs are encouraged.
  
• If you have radios, toolkit, pump/co2, or first aid kit, bring them.
  
• Be familiar with and follow trail rules and etiquette.
