RIDE WITH US
Hosted weekly rides are held year-round for a range of skill levels and pace. Most rides take place at Hartland (Mount Work Regional Park) on Saturday morning, but we also offer rides ad hoc in other locations around the South Island (Jordie Lunn Bike Park, Thetis Lake and Tzouhalem as examples). You can also expect to see some hosted weekday rides.
When deciding which group to ride with, start with something you feel comfortable with and build from there — you can also send us a message if you need help deciding what's best for you. Know your limits and ride within them — our hosts want everyone rolling back to the parking lot in one piece, ready to ride again.
If anything happens on the trail, a buddy will always escort the rider out. If you head back solo, please message the host as soon as you reach the parking lot so they know you're safe.
HOW IT WORKS
Every ride is posted with a trail difficulty and pace rating so you can find the right group for your day. Here’s how it all works.
GREEN
Green trails, with some less technical blue. Great for building confidence and flow.
BLUE
Blue trails, with some less technical black. Intermediate terrain with engaging features.
BLACK
Black trails are the primary terrain. Technical riding with steeper, more challenging features.
DOUBLE BLACK
Double black is the primary terrain. Expert-level technical riding.
The pace rating is based on rider capability relative to number of stops, using Hartland's common starting trails as the benchmark.
OTHER EVENTS
Beyond our regular group rides, we host special events throughout the year — clinics, socials, and more. Some are free, some are member-exclusive. Check some of these events below.
