Come join the Southern New Hampshire chapter of NEMBA for the fun, while helping to save the trails in Bear Brook State Park!  The 8th annual Bear Brook Boogie will be held on Sunday June 8th, with registration opening at 8:30 AM.  There will be a kid’s ride, along with a 10 mile beginner/intermediate loop and a 20 mile intermediate/advanced loop.  Ride fast or just cruise, the trails are arrowed so everyone knows where to go and you don’t have to worry about getting lost!  All riders leave at the same time after a short rider’s meeting.  All the money raised by the Boogie goes directly to the park to rebuild and maintain the trails.

Riders can follow marked courses on their own at any time or take part in a led ride.

Schedule of Led Rides:

Beginner Rides: 10am

Intermediate Rides: 10am

Advanced Rides: 10am

Kids / Family Ride: 10:30am
