- Hillside and Rollercoaster may be ridden depending on the whim of the group
- Hang out afterwards for beers and whatevers.

- Dirt capable bike and helmet required.

- The riders will wait and re-group at the end of each trail segment
- Avg speed is ~7-10mph

- To meet our time/pace, we may opt to not ride a trail segment.

- Sweeper will make sure that no one is left behind

- Depending on the mood of the group, we may hit the trails clockwise or counterclockwise to mix things up.
