Frequently asked questions

What is the foul weather plans?

We have a simple rule for weather, GREEN means GO and RED means STOP. Unless there is red on the radar, we ride! Of course trail conditions are of the upmost importance, so if we risk damaging the trails for any reason the ride will be canceled and your registration will be updated accordingly.

I'm a newer rider, is this ride for me?

You bet! While you should be comfortable riding your bike off road, the trails are great for beginners when ridden at slower speeds.

Can I bring my ebike?

We LOVE ebikes at Trek, however electric assist is not allowed on this trail network.
