Arrive Early for Fit and Paperwork
Show up 15–30 minutes before your rental time to complete the waiver, sizing, and any pedal swaps so you can get on trail promptly.
Check Suspension Sag
Ask Red Raven staff to set sag for your weight and intended terrain—proper sag transforms control on rocky sections and bermed turns.
Carry Basic Trail Tools
Bring a spare tube, multi-tool, and pump or CO2—trailside fixes keep your day rolling and avoid long walks back to Crosby.
Respect Trail Etiquette
Yield to uphill riders, don't shortcut features, and avoid muddy trails after heavy rain to protect trail sustainability.
Helmet
A properly fitting helmet is required and protects you on technical descents and rocky trail features.
Hydration pack or water bottles
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water for full-day rides, plus space for tools and a light layer.
Flat-repair kit (tube, tire levers, CO2 or pump)
Quick repairs keep you on trail; many remote loops near the lakes have limited cellular service.
Gloves and eyewear
Light gloves improve control and protect hands; clear or tinted lenses shield against sun and trail spray.
