  Group Rides + Tailgate Social — Everyone Welcome!

  Join us for group mountain bike rides followed by a laid-back tailgate. Bring your favorite beverage or snack to share and a chair to kick back and relax afterward. Please register in advance, so you can skip the waiver and jump straight into the fun.

  Rides
  MTB routes will be determined based on who shows up.

  We’ll aim for 1.5–2 hour rides with a range of distances and difficulty levels. Each group will have a designated ride leader to keep things running smoothly. Interested in leading a ride? Let us know - we’d love the help.

  Trails
  We’re planning to ride some trails that have received recent maintenance from the Red Rock Trail Crew and volunteers, including:

  • Carroll Canyon: Pyramid, Ridge, Rowdy & Skywalker

  • Western Gateway/Dry Creek: Ground Control, Girdner & Stirrup

  Come ride, connect with the community, and celebrate the trails we all care about.

  VVCC Event: Copper Chief MTB Rides + Post-Ride Subs

  Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
  ⏰ Time: Meet at 11:00 AM | Roll out at 11:15 AM
  Ride Meet-Up: Yavapai College – Verde Valley Campus (Clarkdale)

  Why This Ride

  Big news: Copper Chief is DONE and now fully connects to the Black Canyon Trail—and Quail Springs is DONE, linking directly into Copper Chief. This ride is your chance to experience these fresh connections in one of the most scenic riding zones in the Verde Valley.

  Expect expansive views of Sedona, the San Francisco Peaks, and the entire Verde Valley. The terrain is non-technical, making this trail system ideal for newer riders and equally fun for experienced riders looking for long, fast, XC miles.

  The Ride Plan

  If you’ve never ridden Copper Chief, Quail Springs, or Blowout, this is the perfect opportunity to check them out. Ride here often? Come show fellow VVCC members what they’ve been missing.

  We’ll meet at Yavapai College at 11:00 AM and head out promptly at 11:15 AM, riding through Blowout to begin the climb up Copper Chief. Based on turnout, we’ll break into multiple groups with varying routes and distances so everyone has a great ride.

  After the Ride

  Stick around for post-ride subs and good company—a perfect way to wrap up a great day on the trails.

  Important

  PLEASE REGISTER in advance so we can skip signing waivers at the ride and get straight to pedaling, and we have a good count for the subs.
