We will ride the intermediate single tracks of the Palos FP at a medium pace. The trail side mid ride short break is after riding 7-8 miles. Please, bring water/snacks of your liking. I recommend elbow and knee/sheen pads and eye protection. Also, pack sunscreen and bug/insect spray. This is not a beginner’s/easy MTB ride. Solid mountain biking skills and physical fitness are necessary as trails have steady diet of climbs and descents and a few log rollovers and some stream crossings dips. A mountain bike with full suspension or a hard tail with 2.1” or wider tires is recommended. Eye protection is required while elbow and knee/shin pads are highly recommended. This is a nice week-day ride to practice your skills as there are few bikers or hikers on the Palos trails. <br /><br />Karen Kiley will sweep the ride. <br /><br />Use the GPS coordinates provided in the listing for Red Gate Woods parking lot. Please, call or text me if you are running late for traffic or having trouble finding starting spot.
