SlowRiders Dawn Patrol: New Years Day!
Advertisement
Heyo!
Let's get out early and be the first on the trails in Hanmer Springs for 2026!
This ride is suited to intermediate and advanced riders.
EVERY WEEK:
Our SlowRiders mountain bike rides are social, free, and open to all!
If you're unsure of your ability, please consider checking out the Monday SlowRiders Flatlanders or Tuesday SlowRiders XC (Cross Country) ride first. See what your pace is like at SlowRiders XC, then get your technical skills dialled with SlowRiders Trail on Thursdays, then ride all four nights like a champion!
During the winter and while we're riding at night, you might want to consider everything a grade harder.
We're keen and open to sharing the ride leadership role around - it is great to have people who are keen to contribute to rides and riding. Let us know if you are keen to step up and lead a ride - it's a great way to give back to the sport.
After our ride, we'll meet up together somewhere fun and casual for dinner and/or drinks to help with rehydration and planning for weekend adventures!
SlowRiders' rules apply - leave the race mentality at home, be prepared to laugh, encourage others to have fun and be social! No one is left behind and there is always someone acting as 'Tail End Charlie' to help with technical issues or a bit of encouragement. This isn't a guided trip, so pack your first aid kit, spare clothing, some tools, food and drink - always useful to carry that stuff with you anyway 🙂
