Do I need to register in advance?

No registration needed. Just show up at the meeting point by 7:00 AM with a bike and helmet. Follow their Facebook page for the weekly location announcement.

Is there an entry fee?

Completely free. This is a community ride, not a race or organised event with fees.

The rides are MTB-focused, so a mountain bike is strongly recommended. Other bike types are welcome but will struggle on the off-road sections.

Is a helmet mandatory?

Yes. A helmet is required for all riders - no exceptions.

Absolutely. The group is welcoming to all fitness levels. That said, distances can reach 100km, so some base fitness helps. You can always turn back early if needed.

The riders usually meet at Ruiru Bypass Main Stage Bus Stop. Check their Facebook group for more updates.
