Black Friday Ride at Rolling Hills
Join the Potawatomi Mountain Biking Association as we lead a fun group ride on Black Friday.
This event is a no-drop group ride and is a great chance for novice MTBer’s to get exposure to single track & gravel riding, meet new riders and burn off that Thanksgiving feast to get a jump start on 2025 fitness plans.
Join us on Friday, November 29th at 10am for the 16th annual Black Friday group MTB and Gravel Ride at Rolling Hills and Hewens Creek Parks. After the ride, we’ll enjoy pizza and brews sponsored by Wheels in Motion. This no-drop group ride is a great chance for novice riders to get exposure to single track MTB & gravel riding, meet new riders and burn off that Thanksgiving feast to get a jump start on 2024 fitness plans.
Meet at the Rolling Hills Lodge at 9:45 AM and then we will head out by 10:10 AM at the latest. We’ll refuel with pizza and refreshments at The Lodge between 12:30 and 1 PM. Please RSVP on Facebook (event to be created soon on the Poto Facebook page) and only click “Going” if you are sure to attend to estimate pizza and beverages. Rain date will be Saturday 11/30 at 10 AM.
The MTB ride will be about 15 miles long covering ~6.0 miles at Hewens Creek and ~7.0 miles at Rolling Hills along with some connecting trail between the two parks. For those who are unfamiliar with these trails, Hewens Creek is flat & winding ride through meadows and new growth forest which is great for beginner riders. The RHP trail on the other hand twists and turns through 4+ miles of forest and rolling hills along with ~3 miles of open meadows providing a great opportunity to improve your bike handling skills: 14.9M Black Friday MTB on Strava.
There will be two gravel rides again this year at 16 and 29 miles, respectively, on the sparsely trafficked roads south of Rolling Hills Park. The gravel rides will leave at the same time as the MTB ride: 16.1M Black Friday Gravel on Strava and 29M Black Friday Gravel on Strava.
