HILLSBORO BIKING

Recreational Trail Bike Bootcamp @ Banks – Vernonia State Park

BV Trail

This is a great place to get started or to refresh your skills in trail riding.  The class is geared for all levels. Learn pre-ride bike safety and maintenance, riding position and balance, shifting, braking, lines, cornering, descending, climbing, obstacles/log hopping; all packed into a fun-filled 3 hour course.

Banks – Vernonia State Parks is a 21 mile linear mostly paved trail that is part of the “Rail to Trails” program and was once used to bring lumber from Vernonia to Banks. The paved BV Trail runs through the groomed trails of Stub Stewart State Park and provide both easy riding and some technical trail off shutes that will offer a challenge for even the seasoned trail biker.

This is a great day ride for your family or friends too and nearby Stubbs Stewart State Park is a cute picnic day use area. For those who haven’t been on a ride for years, this is a great entry level class to shake the rust off. Helmets are mandatory and please have your bike in good working order. Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
