The ride consists of single track forest trails, fire roads there's a couple of climbs on fire road and weaving down forest trails
Nothing to strenuous my wife and kids have done it although it's still quite tiring.
It will be at a steady pace not balls out and the plan would be to go as fast as the slowest rider.
A would say any mountain bike hybrid or cyclecross etc would be fine but a road bike would be no good.copy and paste the link below in your browser for a look at the planned route
