Love biking on the road but wondering what it would be like to ride on dirt and rocks? Now's your chance to try! MITOC has mountain bikes to rent, and this is a great opportunity to try out the sport of mountain biking. We'll meet at the MITOC office to get bikes, ride out to Belmont, Massachusetts (a 45 minute ride on the road), bike the trails there for~45 minutes, then ride back to MIT. Total trip should be around 3 hours. This trip does require significance endurance, so considerable fitness is required but no mountain biking experience is necessary. You should be comfortable riding a bike though!
Schedule: 8:30 AM - meet at MITOC office // return to MIT by 12 noon
