GUIDED MTB RIDE SERIES

Our weekly ride series are designed with fun and skill progression in mind in a non-competitive environment. No matter where you are in your riding, we are eager to help you develop your skill set and make memories on your bike. All of our ride series run in six week sessions in spring, summer and fall. We offer different series based on skill level, from beginner/novice to intermediate-advanced. 

​

A ride series includes weekly 60-90 minute instructional, guided group rides designed to help riders build endurance, strengthen community and practice technical skills with a certified coach. Each week we cover relevant skills and implement them directly on the trails. Expect medium to high effort rides with nuggets of information along the way. 

 

Being place-based allows us to introduce or reacquaint participants with public spaces to enjoy time outside. All of our programs are mobile and utilize public parks and trail systems within 20 minutes of Portland, ME. Expect program locations to vary depending on the time of year. Some ride series will meet at the same location weekly, while others rotate to give riders experience on a variety of trails. Women's Ride Series meet at a different location each week and Youth Monday Madness groups meet at the same locations each week to making for easy drop-off and pickup. 

 

Bigger programs aren't the right fit for everyone, so we're committed to keeping these groups small to provide the best opportunity to build confidence and get plenty of individualized instruction. All of our bike programs are held in intentionally small groups of 5-8 participants.

 
All ride series are guided by Effie (she/her), who is a PMBIA Certified MTB Coach, Wilderness First Responder and processes a depth of knowledge about Southern Maine trails. Effie is committed to meet all participants where they are on any given day and support them unconditionally.
