Cycle Connect 417 is hosting a group Mountain Bike ride at the Fellows Lake Trails and ALL women are invited to attend! There will be multiple groups of riders based on experience and skill level so rest easy knowing we've got you covered no matter what you need.
Are you an experienced rider looking for a fast and punchy ride? You know what to do.
Are you just looking for a chill and fun ride through the woods at a "party pace"? We've got you.
Completely new to mountain biking and still a bit unsure of what you're even doing? We've been there, done that, and we would love the opportunity to introduce you properly to mountain biking.
All the FAQ!
Q: Do I need a fancy full-suspension mountain bike?
A: Absolutely not! Just make sure whatever mountain bike you do bring is in good working condition (air, brakes, chain, derailleur). Maintained bikes are safe bikes - see your bike shop for a tune-up if it's been a while.
Q: What else do I need besides a bike?
A: HELMETS are required for this (and all) Cycle Connect 417 rides. You might also want to bring a water bottle and wear closed-toe tennis shoes. Knee and elbow pads are an option if you are afraid of taking a tumble...it happens to all of us!
Q: Can I rent a mountain bike anywhere in Springfield?
A: Adventure Bicycle Company (417-319-6060) and Howler Bike Shop - Pickwick Location (417-831-0800) both have a limited number of mountain bikes in their fleets that can be rented - How cool is that?! Contact them ASAP to rent and be sure to mention Cycle Connect 417!

Reach out anytime if you have questions! We will be posting more info and updates in this event discussion as we get closer to August 10th.
