Here is a general guideline of how to describe your riding ability...

The Bottom Sprockets or better known as the Granny Gears :
These are the beginner riders that want to learn the different techniques to mountain bike riding. More importantly, they want to be nurtured and encouraged as they grow in their skills and others enjoy watching them accomplish these things along the way. In some cases, you may have never gone out on a mountain bike but really want to.

The Middle Sprockets:
Referred to as the leisure riders who have been riding for over six months or so, they feel comfortable with their skills and just want to have fun. More importantly, they are willing and open to learning new things and their playful spirits make them open to teaching and sharing their falls.

The Top Sprockets or Harder Pushing Gears:
These riders have been riding for quite some time and want to challenge their skills by racing and they desire to give it their all and be the best they can be. More importantly, they still have the passion to help new riders, because they too were once a beginner. There is no reason to be intimidated by their personal goals.

We are constantly adding new riders to our group and are excited about the growth. If you would like to be a part of the Trail Angel group please join our e-mail list now. Remember it doesn't matter what level you are at. We want you to just....come as you are!!
