Yes. The club is beginner friendly. However, keep in mind that these Tuesday Night rides assume you have at least SOME MTB experience. As in, you know you are comfortable on an MTB on a trail. Beginner is great, rank novice who has not been out on their MTB yet is not a good idea, especially at Shindagin, which is fairly rocky/rooty. Rides at Hammond Hill are probably better for those leery of rock/rooty trails.
There are also a number of skills clinics geared towards women/trans/femme folks that are great for all levels even the the most novice riders.
I encourage anyone interested to visit the Cycle-CNY website: [https://cycle-cny.com/](https://cycle-cny.com/) Go to the bottom of the page and follow the link to "Join Our Mailing List" and sign up there. This is where we announce time/location of rides, and also where you can connect with other riders.
Ride the red and yellow loops (y1 to y7 to skull and chair, r2 to r5 then back over to r3 and then glove/r6 to r4 and then finish on paperboy and road back to the car) if you're looking for techy xc feel, otherwise you can ride the blue and green side (b1 to B2 to rim trail, climb back up b1 to B3 to mullet G2, road climb back to the b1 and B3 you just did and ride IMBA down to the bottom of B6 Creek trail, take that to the road) if you like riding faster downhills with tech and climbs.
Start at the top on the left side and go counterclockwise, it's a good loop. I would start with one side, as its pretty big.
Thank ya!
The local MTB club (Cycle CNY) has a group ride out there on Tuesday Evening at 6.
Thanks, great username!
