If you have been wondering about what HPT does or how to get involved,
this is also a great opportunity to have some fun, eat some great food
and meet others involved in building better trails for the La Crosse
area. The Beginner Ride (Small Ring) is a great way to learn how to ride a mountain bike, or improve your skills. There are also many other rides if you are not familiar with the trails, or just want to enjoy a group ride... No matter what your ability we'll have experienced volunteers to guide you around some of the best built trails in the midwest - right in your own back yard! Changes from previous Ride Gala will include splitting the Intermediate Ride (Middle Ring) into additional groups based on aerobic fitness and ability; to make sure nobody gets in "over their head". RIDES: - Kid's Ride - Parents... bring your kids for some great outdoor fun! We will have HPT Ride Volunteers to guide your kids around the new HPT Dirt Park, as well as possibly riding on some beginner level trails. Parents are invited to stay, or drop the kids off and enjoy your own ride with another group. Duration: 1-1.5 hours Meet: 3:30pm Ride Departs promptly at: 4:00pm - Women's Ride - An all-inclusive, women's-only ride. Come meet fellow women riders and sample some awesome singletrack. Ability Level: All (Note: Inexperienced women riders are encouraged to join the Small Ring Intro Ride.) Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours Meet: 3:30pm Ride Departs promptly at: 4:10pm - Small Ring - An intro/beginner-level ride for folks that have very little to no experience on a mountain bike. This is a great way to learn, ask questions and meet new people while enjoying some of HPT's finest trails. Ability Level: Beginner Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours Meet: 3:30pm Ride Departs promptly at: 4:15pm - Middle Ring - An intermediate-level ride that is a bit longer and a bit more challenging than the Small Ring Ride. Expect to ride moderately difficult trails, both in terms of aerobic and technical challenge. Ability Level: Intermediate Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours Meet at: 3:30pm Ride Departs promptly at: 4:05pm - Big Ring - This is the tough one! Fast paced, difficult trails and lots of fun for advanced riders. See if you can keep up with HPT's best riders. Ability Level: Expert Duration: Ride as long as you care to. Meet: 3:30pm Ride Departs promptly at: 4:00pm Be sure to watch the MTB Skills Video's (Resources>MTB) WHAT YOU NEED:
DINNER: You are also welcome to bring something of your own to throw on the grill. We'll have plenty of seating, and refreshments will also be provided.

... After the fun is done at HPT - I'm sure there will be a few of us going to listen to Chris Bonelli's band Heavy Water. They will be playing at Fox Hollow @ 9:00pm. It's only a few short minutes from HPT! |
