What we’re about
This is a group for MTB riders located in Zürich and surroundings who want to explore all Switzerland and beyond on two wheels!
Style:
- Most of the rides will fall in the AM/Enduro/DH spectrum (no XC)
- No racing against the clock
- Sometimes we'll use e-MTBs
- Beers and chilling after the ride are an important part of the event itself :P
Requirements:
- You MUST be able to safely ride S2 trails, possibly also S3!
Community:
- The goal is not just the occasional bike ride, but to create a sense of community and a group of friends who keep on meeting on the basis of this common interest, this is why we try to have weekly events that could be a ride on the local trails, a BBQ/Beer by the lake, or both!
Organization:
- Most of the events will be published a few days before (unless logistics require more advance organisation; e.g. booking of accommodation).
- I'm not a guide or a professional event organiser; the events are simply a way to find other people interested in doing the same activity as one does when organising an outing with friends.
Each individual is responsible for their own actions and for assessing and keeping within their limits.
All mountain (AM) bikes: full suspension (air), usually 120-160mm
Downhill bikes (DH): full suspension (coil or air), 200mm
Enduro bikes: capable of absorbing big hits at high speed. It’s standard to see them sporting 150 to 180mm of suspension travel, with most bikes occupying the upper end of that bracket.
Cross country (XC) bikes: hardtail (front suspension only) usually 80-100mm front suspension (air)
