Our goal is to provide all of our campers with a safe, fun and developmentally appropriate riding experience. To help accomplish this, we try to accurately assess each camper’s ability in advance to assist in creating balanced groups of riders that have similar ability. If you are registering with friends that have different riding abilities but want to ride together, please select the ability of the least experienced rider. Nothing is set in stone and we always get riders to the correct groups.

Below is an outline of how we assess rider ability. If you are unsure of your rider's ability or have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

IMPORTANT: Novice riders do not need prior mountain biking experience but they must already be comfortable riding a bike and enjoy riding. Participants must have the ability to start, stop, turn and ride in a controlled manner. If your child has recently learned to ride and/or is struggling with the basics, they may not be ready for these group rides. Please contact us with any questions/concerns before registering.

Group One will be for Novice Riders:

Novice Riders are already comfortable controlling their bikes with the ability to start, stop, turn and ride in a controlled manner for 2-5 miles, climbing up and descending down small hills without constant breaks.

Example of a Novice Ride: Slowly riding the Shoreline Trail at China Camp without constantly stopping for breaks. Riding from Downtown Mill Valley to Sausalito on streets and paths without constantly stopping for breaks. If your camper is still working on riding in a controlled manner they are not quite ready for camp but they will be with some practice.

Group Two will be for Intermediate Riders:

Intermediate Riders are already confident in controlling their bikes up and down hills, slowly climbing moderate hills without breaks, and are able to comfortably ride for 5-10 miles on dirt.

Example of an Intermediate Ride: Slowly riding up the Old Railroad Grade from its start in Mill Valley to West Point Inn without constant breaks/walking.

Group Three will be for Advanced Intermediate and Advanced riders:

Advanced Intermediate are confidently riding their bikes on moderate technical terrain, slowly climbing bigger hills without constant breaks and able to comfortably ride for 7-12 miles on dirt.

Examples of an Advanced Intermediate Ride: Slowly but steadily riding up the Old Railroad Grade from its start in Mill Valley to East Peak. Slowly but steadily riding the Bay View China Camp loop or riding Camp Tamarancho.

Advanced riders: are confidently riding their bikes on technical terrain, steadily climbing bigger hills without constant breaks and able to comfortably ride for 10-20 miles on dirt.

Examples of Advanced Rides: Steadily riding up the Old Railroad Grade from its start in Mill Valley to West Point Inn and then onto Coastal View trail to Muir Beach and then up Middle Green Gulch trail or Diaz Ridge. Steadily riding the Bay View China Camp loop and Camp Tamarancho would be an Advanced Ride.

THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR TIME ON THE BIKE. IF YOUR CAMPER IS NERVOUS ABOUT CAMP OR DOES NOT RIDE REGULARLY, PLEASE HELP THEM GET COMFORTABLE ON SOME MELLOW RIDES BEFORE THEIR SESSION STARTS.
