Ascents and Descents Ride 

We are lucky to live by many mountain bike trails. One of the closest mountain bike trails is the Roundabout trail. The Roundabout trail is considered an intermediate trail mostly because of its ascents and descents and rock gardens.

During this clinic, we will be sessioning ascents and descents only. We will NOT ride the entire Roundabout trail. The first .66 mile of this ride is fairly level single-track trail. From the .66 mile mark to the 1.21 mile mark, the trail ascends from grades that vary between 1% and 7%. At the 1.21 mile mark, we will rest, hydrate and debrief the ascent. After assessing the group, we will decide if we will practice a descent to the Elko viewpoint or practice our descent back to the starting point.

Bring water and snacks. A helmet is required. A front suspension or full suspension bike with a dropper post is also required.  Sunriver Sports and Village Bike and Ski will offer discounts to those of you who mention you are taking this class through the SRWC Mountain Biking Club.  Make sure that the bike shop adjusts the dropper post to your height.

Meet at the Central Oregon Trailhead Alliance (COTA) kiosk (on the other side of the Cardinal bridge) at the arrive-by time of 10 a.m. Roll-out time is 10:15 a.m.  Mechelle Griffin will lead this ride, maximum 14 riders.
