We are excited to partner with Better Bolts for an Ugly Sweater ride, TGIF style! Get those holiday vibes going and grab your fun/ugly sweaters to join us for some shredding. Our party wave will start at the Better Bolts headquarters, where we’ll have pre-ride coffee and snacks for those who show up a little early. After fueling up and taking a look around the Better Bolts HQ (a new product will be on display), the trail party will commence!

The route is about 42 miles with 4,500’ of climbing, with views that are sure to put a smile on your face. There are technical trails, steep climbs and loose terrain throughout the route. This is not a no-drop ride but we will have regroups. This ride is intended to challenge you and be fun, but we aren’t out there to race. Technical bike handling skills are recommended.

We will roll out of the Better Bolts parking lot at a casual pace. We will be on the road for 1.8 miles before we hit our first trail, make sure to ride safely and call things out when you see them. There will be a regroup around mile 21 at Canada Vista park, off of the Tijeras Creek trail. You will be able to refill water bottles there as well.

The holiday ride will make it’s way over to Laguna Beer Company, where we will finish off with some post ride refreshments and socializing.

**WE WILL BE GIVING AWAY BOLT KITS TO THE 3 BEST DRESSED AT THE RIDE, SO SHOW US THOSE CRAZY LOOKS!
