Fall 2010 Mountain Bike Rides

Friends of Coconino County Parks is offering two Mountain Bike Rides this Fall. The first is Saturday, October 16. The ride will begin and end at Fort Tuthill County Park (at the Navajo Ramada) and travel to Raymond County Park in Kachina Village via the Highlands Trail. It will begin at 9:00 a.m.

The second ride is Saturday, November 13. It will begin and end at Sawmill County Park and travel to Fisher Point via some newly-constructed segments of the Flagstaff Loop Trail. It will also begin at 9:00 a.m.

Both rides will be led by Jeff Stein, Chair of Friends of Coconino County Parks. The rides are geared toward novice to intermediate riders with an emphasis on highlighting a County park, its connection to the greater FUTS system, improving riding techniques, safe riding practices, trail etiquette, basics on trail bike maintenance, and having fun. All riders must bring and wear a helmet and have a mountain bike in good repair. It is also suggested that you bring water, a snack, and a spare tire tube (or two).

To participate, simply show up by 9:00 a.m. on the 16th and/or next month on the 13th. If you have any questions, please call Jeff at 570-417-3577.
