Mountain Biking
CANCELLED: FREEKS Ride: Clockwise

Join us for a challenging docent-led mountain bike ride for very experienced off-road riders in excellent cardio shape. Climb challenging State Spur to Cathedral Rock, and then descend into Fremont Canyon while passing some of Orange County’s most spectacular geological formations. The ride continues out to Mini-Moab and then over to Sierra Peak, passing the Tecate Cypress forest, then past Sierra Peak, and over to the last descent down through historic Black Star Canyon.

Change for the June 11th route:
Due to a significant washout between Cathedral Rock and Lizard Rock the FREEKS ride will have to take a detour around the road closure that adds 4 miles and 300ft total elevation gain to the regular program. Please bring extra water and energy to be prepared for an additional hour of amazing views vs the regular route.

Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-5 activity on the land.
