Dirt Divas Visit to FATS on May 9 - Ride Leaders?

[heatherb]

Good morning. The Dirt Divas, a women's only mountain biking club from Charlotte, NC, will be leading day trip to FATS on Saturday, May 9th, expected arrival around 9:30-10. We will have a mixed group with us and I was wondering if there was anyone local who might be willing and interested in leading an intermediate group of women around the amazing trails?

Please post here or text me at 704-779-3835 if you can help.  As always, we can't wait to ride the trails this weekend!

Heather,

You might try posting on the Facebook page. It seems to get more views than the forum these days.

You don't really need a guide at FATS- trails are well marked. Unless someone is really allergic to climbing, I would suggest: Deep Step ccw to the connector trail to the northern loops (Big Rock and Tower); you will be on a short stretch of paved road and then Forest Service Road; turn right on Big Rock (ccw) up to the connector to Tower; ride Tower cw, finish the Big Rock loop ccw (best downhills in the CSRA); FS road and paved road back to the connector, then finish Deep Step ccw. That will take 2.5-3 hours. Refuel at the parking lot and head out to the other trails, my preference is ccw. It will be hot, so take plenty of water and plenty of short breaks. Print a map of the trails
