Ride the Rim Sign Up Information

Hi Folks. You've decided to join us. Great. Here's all you need to know to enjoy your mountain biking experience.

What to bring with you:
You need a bike in good working order. This can be a hybrid or mountain bike for the Family Tour and the Moonlight Tour, but has to be a mountain bike for the Beginner or Experienced Tour. You'll also need to have a HELMET. This is MANDATORY. If you show up and you don't have one, we can't let you ride here. We don't sell them, we don't have them to loan, and you cannot ride here without one. So don't forget that important piece of safety equipment. Other than that, you can bring water, whatever you like for personal items on a ride (sunscreen, gloves, camera, binoculars, etc.)

How much is it?:
This tour is $35.00 per person. That price includes a t-shirt, snack, the mountain bike tour and the animal tour through the Intensive Management Area. All skill levels are the same price and include the same animal tour. So don't fret if you're not an overly experienced mountain biker, even the 5 year olds in the trailer are going to see cheetahs, wolves and rhinos. And, the kids that are in trailers and bike seats are going to see them for only $15.00 each.

How do I sign up?:
Contact Cheryl Joslin right now at 254.898-4200. Or click on her name to sign up by e-mail at cherylj@fossilrim.org. She'll contact you and confirm your reservation. She'll also send you a confirmation letter that gives you directions to Fossil Rim, tells you what to bring with you, and makes sure you know what time to be here to ride.

What about bad weather?:
Bad weather in Texas? That's unheard of. No, wait, I've heard of that. OK, here's the policy. We will cancel the tour if we have lightning in Glen Rose. You will receive all of your money back. We don't cancel for rain. We don't cancel for snow. We don't cancel if it is 100 degrees outside. We don't cancel if it is raining in Dallas. Trust me, there are a lot of times when the metroplex is underwater and we're out riding our bikes in the sun. All guests will have Adam's cell phone number for the day of the tour. If you are in doubt about the riding conditions, call him and he'll tell you the plan.
