The Red River Ski area offers chair lift rides to the top of the mountain with racks available for your bike. The trails on the back side of the ski area are fun intermediate rides. However, all the trail rides down are challenging with steep terrain that is rocky in spots. Also be prepared to jump a log. All trails down are recommended for expert riders only.
Helmets are mandatory.
Riding around town, around Mallette Park or up some old mining road that leads out of town can be great fun and an excellent way to become acquainted with your bike. Get to know your bike well. The best rides start with a good plan. Consider whether your ride matches your physical ability, making sure not to overextend yourself. Start riding slowly to warm up and stretch muscles often during the ride.
