PAA's mountain bike and gravel (collectively dirt) riding community continues to thrive and PAA is proud to offer regular club supported dirt rides (CSDRs) to our members. These rides are similar in format to our highly successful club supported road focused rides. Rides are generally MTB or gravel bike focused, however some may be suitable for either style of riding.
Each ride follows a pre-determined route, often with multiple route options to cater for different skill and fitness levels, although it should be noted these are not beginner rides. The routes are downloadable to rider's head units in advance of the ride and while we do have groups led by experienced ride leaders familiar with the route, we also encourage riders to form smaller groups to lessen the impact to other trail users. The rides are fully supported (where possible) and are no drop rides with SAG stops and lunch afterwards for a great day out on the trails.
Registration for each CSDR is required and open to club members free of charge and to guests of members for a small donation to offset costs.
Volunteers to help run our CSDR program are encouraged, so if you would like to support us, please reach out to the CSDR committee or the event organizer through the forum, we always need help with organization, SAG, lunch and ride leaders.
Please check the event calendar for more information and to register for each ride.
