• Water container such as a water bottle or camel back,
• Close toed shoes worn on your feet.

Only after you have all three (3) things will you be able to participate.

Do I need to bring my own bike?
You do not have to bring your own bike to go on a trail ride. Wente has a fleet of high quality mountain bikes of all sizes which are checked out to individuals for trail rides. Helmets are also provided. See the Mountain Biking Staff for more details.

May I bring my own bike?
Yes, you may bring your own bike. We encourage that you ride the bike you feel most comfortable. However, you are required to check your personal bike into the secure Mountain Biking program building so it is locked up until you begin your trail ride. All bikes may only be used for recreational riding of designated trails, not for around camp transportation.
