North Shore NEMBA has hosted this ride for many years, and it's always been a great gathering for mountain bikers.  This year will showcase some of the best trails the forest has to offer, not-so-coincidentally built by North Shore NEMBA's trail building gurus.

There will be arrowed courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced cross-country riders, as well as led rides of all levels.

The cost is $15 for the general public, $10 for NEMBA members, and if you join NEMBA you get to ride for free!

10am beginners maintenance clinic - how to change a flat / minor adjustments.
11am beginners skills clinic. This will not be a distance ride, more of a basic skills clinic around the festival area.
12pm intermediate ride. This will be more of a ride than a clinic. If we hit obstacles people would like to work on, we can stop, but we are hoping for a fun-filled group ride. This ride will be about 2 hours long. . We hope to see you there!
