About the Ride/ Grunt Rating:

Duthie Hill Park is a fun and challenging place to ride, with many opportunities to develop skills and provides an exceptional riding experience for mountain bikers of all ages. This ride will be about working on skills and riding beginner level xc trails. We will regroup and decide as a group what to ride/practice - below is a list of possible trails (depending on skill level of the group). I'm hoping to practice cornering and possibly refresh some of my other basic skills depending on the experiece of the group.

• Boot Camp - green

• I'd like to do some laps for Cornering practice on Lower Bootcamp - green

• Honey Badger - green

• Luna Drops - green

• Deuces Wild - blue

• Jabulani - blue

• Expect to ride at least a 1.5  hour ride. For those that have ridden with me, you know I climb pretty slowly - so don't worry about your climbing speed!
