Mountain Bike Meetup! (Oct 12, 2026)

Name: Mountain Bike Meetup!
Start: 2026-10-12T22:00:00.000Z

Location: NCSU Alumni Center

Mountain Bike Meetup is a weekly group trail ride that explores the Centennial Campus paths around Lake Raleigh. Organized by a local bike shop, this evening ride offers a supportive environment for cyclists to practice navigating dirt trails in a group setting. Because the sun sets during the ride, you must bring your own bike lights, a helmet, and water. This activity is best suited for adults and experienced teenage riders who can handle moderate trail terrain. If you need help transporting your bicycle to the campus, you can contact the organizing shop ahead of time to arrange a ride share. This is a smart addition to your weekly routine if you want to squeeze in some outdoor exercise, meet fellow local cyclists, and learn the Lake Raleigh trail system with guides who know the route.
