Donations to the David Kirby fund will be made at the time of registration.

There will be three (3) levels of self-guided tours. The Beginner ride will stick to the fire roads on the west side of the park. The other two rides, intermediate and advanced, use most of the rest of the park. Ride times vary according to the level of user. We hope to conclude all riding activities in time for the raffle events, and the Harpoon Brewery will be holding the Pub Party at a local pub (in Lynn, to be announced) starting after 2:30 p.m.
