You haven’t ridden a bicycle for extended periods of time since childhood and after reading the preface for this section, you are probably wondering why you have even considered doing this. Activities involving exercise are not a priority in your life.

Level 2: You will likely be caught on your mountain bike a few times a month or on your road bike once or twice a week when the weather is decent. You are at an average fitness level, and occasionally do other activities that qualify as exercise. You usually find yourself riding for up to 2 hours on the road, or up to 1 hour on the trails, and you ride at a relaxed pace

Level 3: You are a mountain biker riding once a week, or a roadie riding twice a week or more when the weather is cooperating and some days when its not. You are at an average fitness level, and regularly do other activities that qualify as exercise. You can ride on consecutive days and usually find yourself riding for 2+ hours per day on the road, or trails, and you ride at a relaxed or moderate pace

Level 4:You are an avid mountain biker riding twice a week or more, and the weather isn’t a big factor for you. You are at an above-average fitness level, and regularly do other activities that qualify as exercise. You usually find yourself riding for 3+ hours on the road or trails, you’ll ride on consecutive days, and you ride at a moderate pace.

What do I bring?

Please review the following to ensure you have the mandatory gear (*). We have also added optional items that often come in handy during our own rides. *

Helmets*
