Dirt Divas 3rd annual FATS trip

[konagirl]

The Dirt Divas will head to FATS again on Sat. June 11 (planning to be at trail head at 9:30 for 10:00 ride time).

I can't tell you how many people just love it each time we come down for a visit - the trails are all they can talk about. Some have even gone back down with others.

If any of you locals would like to join us please do so. I'm hoping our advanced group can get over to Big Rock and Tower this time. I have yet to ride those sections myself so any help on getting over there would be appreciated.

We will also have a beginner and an intermediate group of women riders if anyone wants to join them and lead them around the trails.

See you June 11th!

And this time I'm not going to let any trees jump out in front of me and break my wrist.

You don't really need a guide for that. There's a marked right turn at the bottom of Deep Step shortly after it crosses pavement for the second time going ccw. Follow that to pavement and go left. Stay on pavement to a dirt road on right. Follow the dirt road up to the North trailhead/parking area, which is where Big Rock crosses the road. Big Rock and Tower are both good ccw.

True, but still nice to have a local or two who know the trails well.

Thanks for that link - it makes it a little more clear now.

I was reading in other posts that it seems most everyone prefers Big Rock CCW and Tower CW - would that be the best way for us to ride?

"Big Rock and Tower are both good ccw. "

Oops - i missed that last part of your post - that answers my question.

[wooglin]

Tower is good both ways. Everything else out there is usually ridden ccw. So for simplicity I just said ccw. When in doubt, turn right.

I prefer Tower cw, Big Rock either but it seems like a longer descent if you do BR ccw.
