GGSA Social Ride |Level 2 | Eagle MTB Park
Eagle MTB Park
10:00 – 12:00
Level 2 Ride at Eagle MTB Park, with lunch after! Join us for an exhilarating ride at Eagle MTB Park, one of my favourite places to ride! Experience a mix of flow trails, cross-country loops, and some gnarly downhill sections. This ride is designated for Level 2 riders due to the more technical nature of the trails. We will be riding a mixture of trails, including some blue and easier black trails. We will not be riding the more challenging black trails. If you are a Level 1 or beginner rider, don’t worry! We will also be hosting a 'Come & Try' ride at the same time at the Eagle MTB Park. Even if you're already a member of GGSA, you’re welcome to join the 'Come & Try' ride. You can find the registration link for the 'Come & Try' on our website. Please register as a Level 2 or e-bike rider. This will help us organize the groups more effectively. We will then head for lunch at the Crafers Pub, with both members and Come 'n' Try riders welcome! This is a great opportunity for potential members to meet existing members, and to catch up off the trails.  Meeting Point: The car park on Hillcrest Ave in Crafers. NOTE: This ride is for Gravity Girls Members. We'd love you to sign up and join our club to join us on this ride! For more info on how to join, see HERE. Please ensure that you are prepared for the ride: ☐ Make sure your bike is in good working order - bring any spares you might need ☐ Wear appropriate clothing (enclosed shoes, comfortable sports clothing)  ☐ Bring enough water and snacks for the ride ☐ Bring any relevant medications ☐ Prepare for the weather (sunscreen, rain jacket, change of clothes for the pub, etc.)

GGSA Social Ride |All levels (moderate fitness)| Kinchina Conservation Park
Maurice Road
10:00 – 12:00
Join us for a ride in Kinchina Conservation Park! This trail location is often overlooked due to its distance from the city, but it is totally worth it. It's always exciting to explore and ride new trails. Kinchina Conservation Park boasts the largest area of native vegetation in the Monarto Crown Lands region. Our 10km loop meanders through beautiful granite outcrops, which form some of the trail features. With little elevation, these trails have more of a cross-country vibe, featuring some tricky rocky climbs, but nothing too crazy. E-bikes are always welcome! Depending on the number of e-bikes, the group may split up. I have added the option to register as a level 1, 2, 3 or e-bike rider - this will help us to know the break up of riders attending. Please meet us at the car park on Maurice Rd, approximately 3.5 km from the Adelaide Road turn-off. The parking bay and trail access are located on the right. NOTE: This ride is for Gravity Girls Members. We'd love you to sign up and join our club to join us on this ride! For more info on how to join, see HERE. Please ensure that you are prepared for the ride: ☐ Make sure your bike is in good working order - bring any spares you might need ☐ Wear appropriate clothing (enclosed shoes, comfortable sports clothing) ☐ Bring enough water and snacks for the ride ☐ Bring any relevant medications ☐ Prepare for the weather (sunscreen, rain jacket, change of clothes, etc.)
