One of our most popular practices of the season! Vail Lake trails are NOT to be missed! We‘ll take you to the favorite trails, the pump track, sweet single track and wrap up practice with a team lunch!

*Note, there is a fee to ride the trails at Vail Lake.

Youth rider $10, Adult rider $15 . Payable online when you sign the waiver or at the entrance kiosk. Bring cash for faster entry! If you are unable to pay this entrance fee, please send me an email and we can cover that cost. We don’t want this to be a barrier to ride! There is no fee for non-riders. The campground at Vail Lake is beautiful to walk around, bring your dog, check out the café, pools and trails.

**A WAiVER needs to be signed online for each rider (coaches too!)
