SUMMARY:

This guided ride is in memory of Steve Garnsey, a BMA member and contributor to the BMA and trail development in the Calabogie area.

We will stage from the gravel pit that serves as the normal staging area for Northside Riding and enjoy the sweet sounds, smells, and vistas of Calabogie’s north-side trails. This will be a guided ride, with groups organized during the riders Meeting.

To ensure the safety of all riders and volunteers, the total number of attendees for this event is limited to 85 total, including riders and volunteers.

You are asked to register and complete the necessary online waiver and submit it in advance of the ride. You can show up on the day of the ride, but you will not be guaranteed participation or lunch if the event is full. Don’t wait, as we fully expect this event to max out very quickly.

So come on out and experience the beauty of the Calabogie North! The leaves will be turning and the temperatures will be perfect for riding.

THE RIDE PLAN: We will divide into groups based on skill level to conduct led rides of Calabogie North.

Participants should be mindful of their capabilities and are encouraged to ride well within their limits. Please consult the BMA skills assessment to gauge your current riding level.
