-Do you already ride and looking for other riders in the area to share your passion?

If you answered yes to any of the above the Our Mountain Bike groups rides could be the answer your looking for.  We meet at the Brandon hills parking lot every Tuesday Evening with the ride beginning at 7 PM though the summer (weather permitting).

Beginner Group

The goal of this group is to help new riders begin to explore the trail systems in the Brandon hills.  Ride length is typically 7 to 10 km long and with an average speed around 10 km/h.  As the season progresses ride length and speed typically increase as members progress with their skills.  This group is a no drop group with stops at most intersections to make sure everyone is together.

Intermediate Group(s)

This group caters to people who have ridden trails in the past and are somewhat comfortable both on the trails and on their bikes.  Ride length can vary from 11 to 14kms.  This group has fewer stops with an average speed of 12 to 14 km/h.  Being our most popular group we sometimes offer two different routes to keep group sizes manageable. 

Advanced Group

This group is designed for experienced trail riders with a high level of fitness.  Ride length is 15 to 20kms and average speeds of 15 to 17km/h with very few stops.  There is an expectation that if you are comfortable with minor trail fixes and finding your own way out if that’s needed.

A few things to keep in mind

*All Riders are required to wear a helmet and sign a waiver at the beginning of the season

*These are adults only rides please no minors without express permission prior to the ride.

*Mountain biking can be physically taxing at any skill level if you are unaware which group might be best for you it’s a good idea choose the group at the lower level. 

*For Riders in Beginner and Intermediate groups, If you find that the ride is too difficult we will offer to have someone help guide you back to the parking lot.

*Pedal Assist E-Bikes are welcome to join but may be asked to ride near the back of the group to not push pace.  Sorry no Throttle based e-bikes are allowed.
