New to mountain biking? Looking to refresh your skills, improve your technique, enhance safety awareness, and increase your overall enjoyment on the trails? Then come prepared with a mountain bike with knobby tires, helmet, water, and snacks. We begin with a demonstration and presentation by experienced riders covering the basic things you need to know, equipment requirements, and trail etiquette. The instructional segment will be followed by a short, guided ride of 3 to 5 miles, where you can practice the techniques discussed.

Please, no road bikes, hybrids, folding bikes. All our rides are “no drop,” meaning we will not leave you. A bike with wide knobby tires is required. Please check the working order of your bike before you leave home. Helmets required. Bring water and snacks.

This course is not designed for electric assist bikes. You may not learn the appropriate skills and it could even be unsafe for you. If you want to participate with an electric bike, please call the City of Scottsdale at 480-312-4444 to inquire about mobility accommodation.

Restrooms are available at the trailhead. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the ride.
