This ride we will all ride as a group and have fun. We can also work on some OAS ticks (for the Joeys/Cubs/Scouts/Venturers) and trained participant ticks for the leaders if you are interested. Please let me know.
The mountain bike trail does have some hills, and depending on the trail or skills park, different levels of technical features like logs and rolls.
You will need to bring the following for the ride:
- A safe and functioning bicycle (we can provide spares if you don't have a bike)
- An approved bicycle helmet that fits
- Enclosed shoes
- Water and snacks
- Sun protection (sunscreen and hat if we stop riding)
- Other items (like small first aid kit, bicycle repair kit etc if you have them)
Since we will be riding over lunch time you may want to think about bringing lunch too. There is a bbq and lunch area along with toilet facilities.
Scout uniform is not required
