Thanks to everyone that joined us today for the annual FROTY (first ride of the year) group ride at Candlers! And big thanks to Davy and Kelly for leading the ride!

Join us for the first ride of the year! Burn off those holiday calories and begin 2025 with a great start. Davy and Kelly Hazlegrove from Blackwater Bike Shop will be your ride leaders, so you know it’ll be a fun time!

Kelly will also be hosting a free skills clinic starting at 10am, prior to the group ride. This will mostly be geared towards new rider foundational skills. But if you’re a seasoned rider and just need to freshen up your body positioning and/or handling skills, please join in! Meet in the Snowflex parking lot and check in with Kelly @ 10am. If you’re interested in this clinic, a rough headcount would be nice, so please RSVP via email to [email protected]

When- Jan 1 2025, Skills clinic @ 10am, group ride @ 11am

Where- Candlers Mountain trail system. Meet at Snowflex parking lot. If the Snowflex parking lot is locked by some chance, we will meet at the lower parking lot (Askew Rd).

Who- We’ll break into groups depending on attendance. Usually, we have 3 groups; a Fast group for those looking for a workout, good distance (10+ miles) at a tempo pace. An intermediate group that is 6-8 miles and hits the “fun” stuff (jump trails and fast descents). And a “Beginner-ish” group that uses the flatter trails and short on miles. But these groups all depend on who shows up :)

**Please note- Candlers Mountain trails aren’t exactly beginner-friendly as there’s a level of skill and fitness needed for most trails.

The ride will last approx 1-2hr. Please dress warm and bring water.

Helmets and GLOC waivers are required. Please print and sign a GLOC waiver from the link below. We’ll also have some onsite the morning of the ride.

The course is free to attend.

If you’re interested in joining, LPD is looking for a head count, so please message us or comment below if you plan to attend.

Thanks in advance!
