Christmas Party Ride Sunday October 19

[kconner]

Looking to get a group together and enjoy a nice, easy ride on the Christmas Party Ride route on Sunday October 19.  This will be an intermediate paced ride....if you want to go ahead of the stragglers, that's fine, but the slower riders will not be dropped.  I should be flexible on time, but I would prefer to ride in the morning, maybe around 9-9:30.  If you're interested, reply to this thread.  An exact time will be settled on closer to the date of the ride and will be listed on this thread.

The Christmas Party Ride is a combination of the Keg Creek and Mistletoe State Park trails, linked together by a short section of road for a total of around 25 miles of riding.  Lots of technical riding, including logs, creek crossings, roots, and even some gullies and rock gardens.  If you're not comfortable riding some of the technical stuff but want some decent mileage, it's all easy enough to walk.  Stragglers will not be dropped!

Let me know if you're interested by posting here.  A concrete time will be decided on before October 19 and will be based on the schedule of those interested in riding.  This is not an official SORBAcsra sponsored ride, so riders will be on their own for hydration and nutrition.

Happy Trails!!

[trippingreen]

so is the time set for certain, 9am at keg parking lot?

[kconner]

So far, looks like 6 people will be ridining....anybody else is welcome to join! We will be meeting at the main parking lot for Keg....take Washington Road towards the lake. Go straight through Pollards Corner. Once you pass over the Keg Creek bridge, the parking lot is immediately on the left. Wheels roll at 9:00 am, no later than 9:05

Unless I have a late night I should make it. Will you do Keg first?

[kconner]

Keg CW to Mistletoe. Mistletoe CCW and back to finish Keg.
