Task · part of 6(B). Option B: Trail or Mixed Surface Biking

6(B)(4). Thirty miles across six rides

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 6: road, or trail and mixed surface?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Two rides of 2 miles, two of 5 and two of 8, on mountain biking or multi-use trails your counselor has approved, with a written report listing the dates, the routes travelled and interesting things seen.

Note. The trails have to be approved by your counselor, so raise that before you plan the rides rather than after. Six rides: two of 2 miles, two of 5 and two of 8, each written up with dates, routes and what you saw.
