Getting Ready to Ride Series

By

Hey riders!

After a really popular spring and early summer we are going to reboot the ‘Getting Ready to Ride Series’ group ride. If you just bought a mountain bike and want an intro to riding single track around Fredericton this is the weekly ride for you!

Every Sunday morning for 4 weeks beginning July 24th the group will tour a new trailhead. The focus is getting comfortable on your mountain bike; then progressively introduce climbs, descents, rocks and roots over single track trail networks. 

Here’s what you need to join the ride:

  • A mountain bike (knobby tires) that’s in good working shape
  • Your RVC Membership. Join here!
  • A good attitude, a bottle of water, and a spare tube

Here’s what a few riders who just went through the program had to say about it:

Jo Sto: “This group has helped me climb higher, go farther, descent faster and go on adventures I never dreamt possible.“
Noortje Kunnen: “I always thought mountain biking would not be something I would enjoy. When RVC announced a beginner group, my husband convinced me to give it a try. Under the leadership, encouragement and patience of Heather and Michel, I have come to love the sport. They gradually introduced us to various trails, building our confidence and skills and making new friends along the way!“

Carole Ouellette Volpe: “Joining the RVC Getting Ready to Ride group challenged me and helped me get comfortable with Mountain biking. Each week, we explored beautiful new trails and learned new skills. This group is welcoming, dynamic and encouraging!“
Debbie McCluskey: “This beginner group has been such a great way to get into the MTB scene. I am in absolute awe of the Trails we have available to us.. definitely something for EVERYONE with a cherry on top! After riding with this group, pushing ourselves a bit with each ride, I feel very proud to add another way of describing myself… I AM A MOUNTAINBIKER !“
