For Beginners

TMBA’s Essential Guide for Beginner Mountain Bikers!

This ride is off-road – be sure your bike is suitable, and the tires have tread.
Make sure the tires are inflated, chain is lubed, and bike is the appropriate size.
You will ride with a group and be able to learn from others that have the same passion.
The ride leader will guide the group and a sweep will make sure no one is “dropped” e.g., left behind!
You will have fun, learn new trails, and meeting others that enjoy riding mountain bikes!
The ride is open to all; however, children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Riders understand that mountain biking comes with some risk – it isn’t a matter of “if” you fall, but “when,” no matter how experienced you are!
Don’t ride beyond your ability. If you don’t feel confident about a section of trail, dismount your bike and walk past it.
Knowing what your limits are is the best way to improve as a rider.

Take Capitol Circle NE and turn onto Easter wood Drive like you’re going to Tom Brown Park (just south of the Capitol Circle/Mahan intersection).
At the roundabout turn left onto Weems Rd and park on the road to the left just BEFORE the train tracks. This road is also named Weems Rd. but there is no street sign.
Or you can park in the parking lot of the public safety building at roundabout and just ride down the hill.
