SUMMARY:
This event is a family-oriented trail ride through Limerick Forest. Certain trails will be marked with green arrows for everyone to follow in a fixed direction. Feel free to ride any/all trails at Limerick Forest. You are never more than ~3.5 km from the gravel pit. The terrain includes dirt, gravel, and sand with sections of rock and there may be small trees to cross and small hills to climb.
Treat it like any regular day you ride with your family, except with guides. You will be responsible for your riders, bikes, mechanical issues, etc.
THE RIDE PLAN: We will divide into groups based on skill level to conduct led rides of the Forest for those who are new. Limerick Forest Trail Wardens will be on site to answer questions.
Participants should be mindful of their capabilities and are encouraged to ride within their limits. Please consult the BMA skills assessment to gauge your current riding level.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Ensure your bike is registered, plated and insured and in top condition.
- An OFTR membership or Day Pass is required to ride Limerick Forest.
- Bring plenty of hydration and trail snacks such as energy bars.
