Cranksisters Beginner XC Ride, Leisurely (Turtle) Pace

Ride Description This is a leisurely-paced ride at Black Diamond Open Space. All levels welcome! The trails on this ride will be rated green and we will take frequent breaks. The pace can be adjusted a little to fit with riders' comfort, however, the objective is to enjoy the scenery, relax, be social, and have fun! It is also an opportunity for new riders to become comfortable on their bikes, or maybe a recovery ride for seasoned riders. Possible trails in mind are: Rock and Roll, Remaster, Sasquatch, Kathleen, and Tarzan. These are all relatively flat trails with little bits of slight downhill and uphill. but nothing "punchy". You are welcome to hike-a-bike sections if needed. No pressure!
