The Hinton Mountain Bike Association (HMBA) often gets asked about its group rides. Every summer, from sometime in May to as late as October, HMBA has two orgranized rides: one on Monday evenings (just for ladies!) and one on Wednesday evenings (everyone!).
You don't have to be a member to try out one of our group rides. Membership provides general liability insurance for our members and gives the HMBA better access to grants to build/maintain our bike park and trail systems. As a member, you get voting privileges at our AGM, can become part of the board as an executive or coordinator, and finally - you have access to great regional business discounts. See our Member page for more info!
Fantastic!!! Our group rides welcome all abilities. However, the HMBA has a few tips for those new to mountain biking:
Of course! But it is always best to start in May, if possible. If you haven't been riding on your own - you might find it a struggle to ride with those that have been riding since May.
Group ride times generally last 1.5 to 2 hours, with lots of breaks - depending on the group's abilities. Hinton's trails include elevation gains, lots of singletrack, some technical sections such as roots and bridges - basically a little of everything! Trail selections are usually determined at the beginning of the ride, but may change as the ride progresses. Riding in a group is a great way to connect with others and get some good tips on how to tackle different challenges on our trails!
All the more reason to join a group ride! To ensure everyone enjoys the groups rides, here a few general guidelines:
Happy Trails!!
