Prep Your Bike

  • Know whether your bike has electronic aids such as ABS or traction control and how to turn them off

  • Check your tire pressure. You will be running a lower tire pressure off-road than on pavement. Your specific tire pressure will depend on your bike

  • We recommend at least 50/50 tires to full off-road tires. You can ride with up to 80/20 tires, but please be cognizant of traction on varying terrain

  • Don't know what any of this means? Reach out, and we'll be happy to help you walk through it


What to Wear

  • DOT/SNELL rated street helmet or a dirt-specific helmet no more than 5 years old

  • Gloves - recommend dirt style or adventure gloves

  • Boots - MX or adventure boots recommended, at the very least boots that provide over the ankle protection

  • Recommended: knee braces or pants with knee pads

  • Recommended: chest protector, elbow and shoulder pads

  • Check the weather and be prepared to get dirty and potentially muddy


What to Bring

  • Basic tools. Stuff happens, and it’s best to be prepared. We have a full set of tools, but it’s always best to travel with a toolkit specific to your bike.

  • WATER! Regardless of the weather, you will be working hard. Even on cooler days, it is important to hydrate

  • Snacks. There is a cafe on-site that serves a limited menu. If you have dietary restrictions, we recommend bringing your own breakfast and lunch.
