Things to be mindful of:

The ranch is dry currently and there are areas with tall grass and there are holes littered in the pastures so please stay on the trail. We will play ride in a few different areas but be mindful that the canyons are very steep and please scope out lines and what’s on the backside of the small cliffs before just climbing or jumping to the top. We do have diamond back rattlesnakes that are out and about during the summer time. It’s not an issue when we are riding but if you are walking around camp to use the bathroom pay attention to the ground that you’re walking on. We also have tons of cactus and mesquite trees. Flats will not be an issue since we run Michelin Bib Mousse but these plants hurt if you come in contact with them. We are happy to adjust things on the bike for you like brake pedal position and engagement, suspension clickers, levers, etc but ask that you only let Gnarly Routes personnel adjust items on your bike.

The bikes have been issued in the order of sign up completion.

This is a reminder that you are responsible for the Gnarly Routes bike that you are riding. We do expect normal wear, but items such as radiators, exhaust pipes, sub frames, brake rotors, swingarms, handlebars, and frames will be inspected before the ride and you will be responsible for any damage at retail price of the parts listed above.
