Riders!
RVC is excited to be hosting a 6 week group ride series aimed at beginner level fatbike riders starting Sunday Feb. 13th ,10:15 am, in Deer Park. This ride series is totally free, and aims to give you the basics of expanding your singletrack experience to include the best months of the year!
Each ride will be about 90 minutes in length and the ride pace is going to be slow and steady. Nobody will be left behind. The ride plan will focus on enjoyable, but less demanding trails in some of our favourite groomed networks. Between rides RVC will post some tips on our Facebook and Instagram channels on how to get the most out of your winter ride. By week 5 and 6 the ride will mix in a few more interesting trails with a little more terrain but the pace will remain friendly.
- Week 1 – Deer Park
- Week 2 – Mactaquac
- Week 3 – Woolastook
- Week 4 – Woolastook
- Week 5 – Odell Park
- Week 6 – MVP
We really want to thank rider and volunteer Heather Ongo for identifying a need to do this and stepping forward to lead each ride. RVC is a volunteer driven club and we love it when riders want to make things happen. Thank you Heather!
Now – the ride series will depend on good attitudes and good snow but it will also hinge a bit on the COVID-19 situation. We feel good to launch it now that NB is in phase II but if we go back into lockdown we are obviously off. We do ask that everyone social distance at least 2m while out on rides with people outside your steady 10 bubble and bring a mask just in case you find yourself needing some up-close and personal help. If you are feeling crummy please stay home and rest!
Remember to dress appropriately for whatever the forecast says that morning. Also remember to bring yourself some snacks and a warm drink (pro-tip fill your bottle or hydration bag with warm water to delay the inevitable freeze). Please also remember to Join RVC Winterbike if you haven’t already.
