Event Details
Like Leslie Knope famously once said, “February 14, Valentine’s Day, is about romance. Galetine’s day is about celebrating lady friends. It’s wonderful and it should be a national holiday.” Join us on Sunday, February12 at 12:00pm at Loyston to celebrate lady friends and our one true love… bikes. ?
This event is free, but register by February 9th. This helps us ensure we have enough volunteers and supplies.
We will not have demo bikes available the day of the event but local bike shops may have some you can reserve in advance. Please call them to make arrangements.
Our rides are pressure-free and worry-free. We make sure every rider is comfortable with the group's pace and that no section of trail is beyond the ability level of the group. E-bikes are welcome.
Joy Ride Full Event Schedule

Ride volunteers needed!
We are looking for ride leaders and sweeps to lead our ride groups in a fun and safe manner. If you are a confident rider with a genuine interest in sharing your love of the sport and have a good understanding of the Loyston trail systems, please select "volunteer" in the ticket option below and be on the lookout for an email from joyridevolunteer@ambcknox.org. You don't have to be an advanced rider to volunteer; just be confident at the level you choose.
Riding Levels
New Rider: I'm entirely new to mountain biking, or I've attempted a couple of rides but would love to receive a little coaching. You will get on the dirt, get comfortable with your bike, gear, and learn some basic mountain biking skills.
Distance: Under 5 miles
Beginner: I'm relatively new to mtb. I like it and want to learn about how to be comfortable on varied terrain with more technical features.
Distance: 5- 7 miles
Beginner Plus: I'm comfortable on green and most blue trails. I'm venturing out onto harder trails, but still have to walk some of the more technical features.
Distance: Under 10 miles
Intermediate: I am a confident rider and can ride my bike on technical terrain. I'm fine with roots and rocks, comfortable on blue trails and ready for new challenge.
Distance: 10 - 15 miles
Intermediate Advanced: Let's go on an adventure! We'll do a little more distance, a few more features, and try new things.
Advanced: Let us know what you're into! Want to hit the jump trails (note: no jump trail at Loyston) or get your miles in? We've got you covered.
Volunteer: I'm a confident rider. I know the trails well, and I'd love to help out as a ride leader or sweep! There will be a separate form for you to list your volunteer preferences. You don't have to be an advanced rider to volunteer; just be confident at the level you choose in the volunteer form.
*Rides are subject to change based on weather and group consensus. Stay tuned for more info & updates.
