Family MTB Ride on Jumbo

Want to explore the trails on Jumbo Mountain? Nature Connection is hosting a mountain bike “Gear Grab and Go” for kids and families at the Jumbo Mountain Trailhead in Apple Valley Park.
Borrow one of our bikes—from Striders to adult suspension bikes— with a suggested donation of only $10. Bike lending will start at 10am and all bikes need to be returned by noon.

A kids and family-friendly group ride will depart at 10:30 and will showcase some of the trail work Nature Connection has been doing on Jumbo in partnership with the BLM. Wanna ride your own bike? La Manzana Cyclery will be on-hand to give free safety checks.

Kids should be accompanied by an adult rider. The full family-friendly route is approximately 1.5 miles and is on beginner-intermediate terrain. There are multiple options to shorten the ride.

Adults and teens wanting more of a challenge can meet up at Apple Valley Park at 10am. Riders from the local mountain bike team and others will be suggesting loops for all abilities. La Manzana Cyclery will have maps and links to self-guided rides on Jumbo and on gravel roads in the area.
