Mountain Bike – La Pine State Park – Easy Advanced Beginner

Let’s ride the mellow and scenic trails at La Pine State Park. These trails are mostly smooth single track with a few small hills. This ride is appropriate for those who are newer riders or those who prefer a slower, more casual pace. You do need to be comfortable with riding your bike off the pavement and know how to shift and use your brakes so this ride is not for actual beginners. This route has 3 loops and we return to the starting point between each loop so if anyone is uncomfortable with the total length they can opt to drop after the first or second loop.

**Ride level** – Easy Advanced beginner

**Terrain** – Mostly flat and smooth single track. A few small obstacles.
