TMBA's Essential Guide for Tallahassee Mountain Biking
No gear too low or speed too slow
-
This ride is off-road – be sure your bike is suitable, and the tires have tread.
-
Make sure the tires are inflated, chain is lubed, and bike is the appropriate size.
-
You will ride with a group and be able to learn from others that have the same passion.
-
The ride leader will guide the group and a sweep will make sure no one is “dropped” e.g., left behind!
-
You will have fun, learn new trails, and meeting others that enjoy riding mountain bikes!
-
The ride is open to all; however, children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
-
Riders understand that mountain biking comes with some risk – it isn’t a matter of “if” you fall, but “when,” no matter how experienced you are!
-
Don’t ride beyond your ability. If you don’t feel confident about a section of trail, dismount your bike and walk past it.
-
Knowing what your limits are is the best way to improve as a rider.
