Boulder County Parks & Open Space Park Rangers are hosting a mountain bike group ride for all skill and fitness levels. We will be riding at a slow pace with planned stops to prevent the group from separating – we will ride as a group the entire time. At each stop, the group will either practice beginner mountain biking skills or engage in conversation about inclusion in outdoor spaces and endurance sports, such as cycling. In 2021, your guide from the City of Boulder was an ambassador for a cycling team, Ride for Racial Justice, which claims to “exist to ensure access to resources, education, and community for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) cyclists and to dismantle systemic racism so that EVERYONE can feel safe, free, and empowered to ride a bicycle.” This year, they are serving as a mentor to the new athletes and will use this lens and experience to help guide the ride and conversations. This group ride will focus on building community and ensuring we create a safe and welcoming space for all cyclists.

Participants will need to bring their own bike and helmet. E-bikes are permitted.
