April 15th-17th
Join the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club for a weekend of awesome trails, friends, and fun! Come down for the day, camp out for an overnight, or rent an AirBnb for the weekend! There are trails and lodging options for everyone. We’ll be riding some of the best hand-cut singletrack, world-class downhill lines, and professionally sculpted dirt jumps in the Midwest!
The group coordination will be informal, so everyone is on their own to find campsites and lodging accommodations. We will be working to coordinate a group dinner on Saturday night, so we’ll communicate more on that as the date approaches. Please reply to the email if you are planning on attending, so we can get an idea of attendance and where everyone is staying.
The club will gather each morning after coffee and breakfast and break up into groups based on riding style and location. There will NOT be guided rides, but there will groups of varying skill levels, speeds, and riding styles that everyone is welcome to join!
