Every Wednesday May through September at 5:30 pm at San Lee Park.
Weekly group mountain bike trail ride for families, beginner riders, and youth.
This ride will be focused on rider development and improving physical and mental health within our community through mountain biking and the support of Lee County’s established cycling culture.
BTD Conservancy members will lead riders and we will break off into different skill and age groups as needed. Distance of ride groups will vary and be tailored to those attending. Ride distance could be a few hundred yards up to a full lap of 6 miles or more. Part of the intention of this ride will be to take time before and after the ride as needed to teach riding skills and basics of bike maintenance.
New for 2024 BTD Conservancy has a Dirt Camp trailer outfitted with a few extra bikes, helmets, and tools, etc. in case some new riders need equipment. If you know anyone who would be interested in helping to financially support the Dirt Camp bikes and equipment trailer. please email Charlie or Brian at info@backtodirtconservancy.com.
Meet at upper MT Bike gravel parking lot across the spillway and up the steep drive.
