Description:

We have some sunny weather upon us! How about trying out your new (or old) bike setup on some of the beautiful BC trails?

There is a good deal of fun singletrack for all abilities just a short ferry ride away on the Sunshine Coast, and it would be great to draw out the VOC bikers - I know you're out there - to join forces and have a good time.


The current plan in my mind:
- Arrive at Sprockids Park on the Sunshine Coast for 10am
- Go over basic riding techniques (Basic body position, braking, climbing uphills, etc.)
- Spend the day attacking obstacles and taking on trails
- Make our way back for the ferry (they run back to Horseshoe Bay for 5:45, 8:00, or 10:00pm)


Some biking trip questions which could be addressed at a pre-trip meeting

Do you have a bike? Is it trail worthy?
Do you have a car with a bike rack? You do? You're the greatest. Please come with us.
What is your biking experience? Would you rather simply ride, or try to learn a few things before hitting the trails?

We can look at bikes to see their trail-worthiness or decide many people would like to rent or to tackle the North Shore at a Pre-trip, so please make it a point to be there or to send an email along!
