Thursday Mountain Biking at the Whitewater Center

Have fun and enjoy a mountain biking workout at the US National Whitewater Center. All levels welcome! 

We'll ride the trails every Thursday (weather permitting) beginning May 11th through September for about 90 minutes. You can also join us for a beer after the ride.

Bring your bike and meet in front of the gift shop at the main building by 5:45 pm. Wheels up at 6 pm at the latest. The main building is the Dickson Center and can be viewed on the facilities and trail map. Traffic is usually heavy getting into the park, so allow at least 30 minutes to park your car and unload your equipment.

Fees: Parking is $6 or you can purchase a season pass for $60. If you own a bike, there is no fee other than parking. Bike rentals are available at the Whitewater Center for $30. 

Event Leader: Jace Gates - ‭jgates@certapro.com or 704-609-2379

Please email Jace at least 8 hours before the ride so he knows you're coming. The group won't wait if you're late; however, you can text to find out where the group is riding. 

Note that Jace may cancel at the last minute due to trail conditions, inclement weather, or scheduling conflicts. The Whitewater Center updates trail closures on the top right of their home page. If you see a red dot with “Trails Closed,” assume the event is canceled. We do our best to send out email notices of cancelations to people who RSVP online as well. And remember, you ride at your own risk, so please consider your riding ability before starting on any of the trails. 

PS - Let Jace know if you're interested in volunteering as an event leader for mountain biking Thursdays. There will be a few weeks where he's unavailable, and we'd rather not cancel.
