Absolute Bikes Summer Ride Schedule-

Please wear your helmet!

• Tuesday Morning Rides, 6:30 am every Tuesday through the summer, starting at Absolute Bikes, Flagstaff. Challenging mountain bike routes, fast-ish pace, but no drop.
• Sunday Technical MTB Ride, 9:00 am from Absolute Bikes, Flagstaff. Ride with Vince “Noodles” Rideau on technical routes. Time will be spent discussing and tuning suspension, practicing climbing and descending technical moves. No one left behind, challenging terrain. A great way to hone your skills on the rough stuff!
  
• Saturday “B” Road Ride on Lake Mary Road, (coming soon), Not in the mood to get hammered by the weekly Saturday “Tour de Flagstaff” race? Are you new to road riding and you want to ride with a group and get some tips? Meet us at Absolute Bikes, Flagstaff at 9:00 am, or at the “mailboxes” on Lake Mary Road, (near the Canyon Vista campground), at 9:45 am on Saturdays for a no-drop group road ride. Mellow pace, potential to split into smaller groups if enough folks of different skill levels show.
